Show Disgraced by Song Instead of going to jail for a crime, the native of South Sea islands is-lands is punished by having a song written about him and sung to the community. This method of disgracing dis-gracing sinners publicly has been so effective that jails and guard houses were unknown to the islands is-lands until recently when military bases became established. But even now, the islanders regard re-gard being locked behind bars as mild punishment compared with having a song written about them. |
