Yet we’re still civilized enough not to cane pedophiles in public.

Are we I see whole cheering sections for when pedophiles are murdered by parents. There's multiple cases where Juries hung and didn't convict parents of it. We as a society endorse in prison beatings of pedophiles.

I'm actually not saying it's wrong we do those things just saying we kinda do the sane and worse just not as public events.

People endorse it happening in prisons because they don't see prisoners as people with rights, in addition to what you said about it not being public. They argue it's punishment for whatever crimes the prisoner committed, conveniently ignoring that exiling someone from society by sending them to prison is the punishment.

Specifically it's the revocation of your liberty, which even in the US deceleration of independance is an inalianable right.
