mw13 – I know you aren’t the only one who does this but what makes you think that asking on an internet forum is INSTEAD of asking a Rov. If I had an interesting situation that I asked my Rov about, that is totally besides the point of deciding it may make interesting discussion here.
I fully agree – that’s why I responded myself. I was just pointing out that for a real answer, one that can be relied upon li’maaseh, one must consult a real Rov.
mw13 – good point regarding the exception to mesira, and regarding people in jail not harming anyone – the people are in jail for what, 3 years? Then they get out and Monsey chaverim takes them right back to join their old team. Wouldn’t you want to know that before you call?
Hold your fire – I never said that people in jail can’t harm anybody else later on. I was merely responding to a point that was raised about the permissibility (or lack of it) of publicly shaming one wrongdoer with the sole intention of dissuading others.

What would you have said if it had been called the “Wall of Awareness”?
