Jail time in this case would serve as an example. JLA

I say we create inescapable desert communities for them to live in. If they have the will and survival skills to escape and make it back to the rest of civilization then their sentence should be considered served! <g>

"But people are rarely sent to prison to do them good. Sometimes its necessary to protect other people, or to deter or because society cares deeply about what the guilty person has done and the punishment reflects the concern." ---- PD James from Original Sin IMO, "property crimes" need to be sternly punished under these circumstances. Loss of respect for a person's property leads to loss of respect for the person as well. The guilty party needs to consider the effect of her misdeed on its victims. Do we want to have the kind of society where a school teacher to whom we entrust the education of our children is allowed to rip off her colleagues and the taxpayers and whose punishment is some sympathy, some counseling and a world cruise to help her ease the pain of her alleged guilt?
