HARD LABOR CAMP! no break no loafing no nothing...

Image if a person knew there will be hard labor, would they commit crimes? I don't think so, right now most of them knew if they ended up in jail, all they do is loafing, eat, sleep, that is it. Too easy for them, and they usually don't mind that at all.. That is the problem...

I prefer them work 14-16 hours a day no break, no vacation, no nothing, just work... they will end up hate it so much and will straight themselves up in no time..

As for this teenager criminal, the best thing is labor camp or boot camp and this person will definetly change to decent citizen in about 10 years.

hear hear! diehardbiker for President!!

That way - we won't have any more silly debates like death penalty or high cost of life imprisonment.

If you don't want to do the time, then don't do the crime.

Here's the response from my lawyer friend:

I looked into it a bit, but don't know much more about it than what we read. I don't know anyone up that way who would have any real knowledge of the situation. That was quite a little crime spree he went on, including two armed robberies. Still, that was an unusual sentence. My best guess is that he already had a pretty extensive criminal record involving serious crimes, possibly stretching back into his early teen years. If that is the case, the criminal justice system probably just came to the end of the road with him.

The judge in this case has been around a long time, so I don't think it would be a reaction to any prior criticism. I don't think this particular judge would react to criticism one way or the other.

I hope this sheds a little light.

It has happened at RIT in several situations. One time, there was this student who was fired from her job. She did something that most of us would see as deserving a slap-on-the-wrist if we were good workers. But in her case, she got fired for it. She told everyone that she got fired for no good reason. What everyone didn't know was that she had a 8-month history of causing problems one after another. She was often late for meetings, reports, projects, programs, etc. She was also not around to do her job. She constantly blamed other people for her problems. Even though they were all minor, it kept building up more and more.

It's like a person holding a huge cup. That person can hold that cup with ease while others drop small pebbles into it. As the cup fills up, it becomes harder to hold... but not too much that the person can still hold on. Suddenly, someone drops a couple big rocks in it. What happens? That person loses his/her grip and drops the cup.

That's what happened in this situation... this person did a bunch of small stuff, but doing something big enough was going over the line.

I am confused. Are you forgetting about your past teenage history?
