Locking a Child up in a Cage for Discipline?

I have been watching Super Nanny and one technique that Super Nanny uses it the Naughty Bean Bag Technique. If the child is naughty, he or she is put on the Naughty Bean Bag and must stay there fore five minutes before apologizing. If the child leaves then the parent has to put the child back on the bean bag.

I know a couple who have tried this technique on their 5-year-old son and what they find is that their son takes a long time (maybe half an hour) to apologize and every single time they bring him to the bean bag he tries to run away and they have to carry him back.

My friend James recommends they lock the child up in a room or cage. The wife said this was horrible but James said that it's practically the same thing. If the child is on a bean bag and every time he tries to escape he is put back there then that is virtually the same as if the child were locked in a room because the child's movements are deprived and this is what the whole punishment is about.

James argues that the Naughty Bean Bag Technique and locking the kid up in a cell both achieve the same thing but locking a child up saves the parent time whereas the Naughty Bean Bag Technique uses up the parents' time resources, which are wasted and could be put into other important things like doing the dishes or cleaning the floor.

The wife said that locking a child up is child abuse and morally wrong, but James argues that locking a child up is the same as Super Nanny's Naughty Bean Bag Technique and Super Nanny's technique is televised and praised by parents. If Super Nanny's technique is morally okay then it logically follows that locking a child up is morally okay.

The couple are not happy when their son constantly refuses to clean up his room.
