Short excerpt from a YouTube interview (Johnny Knoxville-related) uploaded by Chris Collins. Two speakers discuss differences between Canadian and American prisons, note a specific corporal punishment anecdote (sentenced to 30 lashings, receiving 15 up front) and its psychological toll—comments framed by the belief that 'violence begets violence' and a joking aside about applying such treatment to 'Aaron' in a future movie.

He also kind of like talks about the difference between Canadian prisons and American prisons and he, he liked Canada better.
Yeah.
Even though you got the lashings.
Oh, the lashings really did his head in.
That's an interesting thing that. What do you think about that? Do you think that works?
I know.
Cuz he got like, he got sentenced to 30 lashings but they give you 15 up front.
No, that I.
Don'T think at the end.
I don't think that works. That's like the same thing as violence begets violence, I believe. You know, but.
He describes like waiting for the other 15 lashes and what, what kind of a mind that was.
Yeah, yeah, he describes that in great detail. It sounds absolutely horrible. Maybe we'll do that to Aaron in the next movie.
Yeah, it's funny that you're the one saying violence begets violence.
Well, there's violence and then there's funny violence.
