Imagine trafficking drugs that fuel crime, sex trafficking, and overdose deaths, and the judge being worried your living conditions are too harsh.
They really should be building more penitentiaries if it’s this bad.
Imagine committing a heinous crime, but the judge let’s you out because they feel bad for you
Before I make judgment I’d like to know specifically what the issues are regarding the conditions. Jail isn’t supposed to be a cordial dinner party.. So tell me what the issues are so I can decide for myself.
I know my conservative cousin doesn’t seem to „get“ the difference between jails and penitentiaries. I’ve tried to explain it but he’s just not really interested in engaging. I suspect this is preying on that particular fact. I don’t know if he doesn’t believe me or doesn’t care – I think he’s sort of hunting for emotional resonance. There is a problem and it is not being address and it’s not clear (to your average person) who is supposed to solve it either so it’s easy to get confused on why.
What were the conditions of the jail? Hard to make a judgement on whether it’s the right move or not without knowing the conditions.
This judge is fucked in the head
Toronto Star paywalling so people react to the headline. Here’s the non paywall: https://archive.is/TRIpw
19 year old first offender sold cocaine got 2 years, served one in inhumane conditions and will serve the second half as house arrest
It’s hard to sympathize with someone like this, but he still has rights and someone needs to advocate for them.
Some court decisions in Canada start to look like someone is willing to make a joke. What are we supposed to offer to these criminals – a 5 stars hotel??
Sounds like the Maplehurst jail needs to get its shit together. Correctional workers are often way too busy powertripping to actually do their jobs properly.
