I think that is a stupid and unfair punishment that will encourage him to return to crime. There is no hope for his punishment to end. Ridiculous in my opinion. Just keep it to five years jail - bad enough - and be done with it.

And before the "oh five years jail is nothing" get's paraded, how would someone here feel spending ONE year in prison? One year of your life *poof* gone. Five years would be terrible. Say aged 25 - 30 were spent in prison. That's a huge deal in my book.

That $500 per month is ludicrous. Say he get's married, in two years, has a child, three years later gets divorced and is hit with allimony payments. Say $500 per month. If he's not, his kid will suffer right?

So that's $1000 per month down. Getting up to a New York rental figure.

Whatever, I don't agree.
