Student Satirist Gets 3 Months; the Judge, Likely More 689
ponraul writes "When Judge Mark A. Ciavarella Jr., 58, sentenced Hillary Transue, 17, on a harassment charge stemming from a MySpace parody of her high school's assistant principal, Hillary expected to be let off with a stern lecture; instead, the Wilkes-Barre, PA area teen got three months in a commercially operated juvenile detention center. In a reversal of fortune, Ciavarella and his colleague, Judge Conahan, 56, find themselves trying to plea-bargain an 87-month sentence in Federal correctional facilities relating to a kick-back scheme that netted the pair $2.6 Million and PA Child Care 5000 inmates." True poetic justice would be for these corrupt, callous judges to serve their sentences in the same kind of environment to which they were happy to dispatch juvenile defendants.

TRUE poetic justice would see them incarcerated in the juvenile detention facilities themselves, surrounded by the very kids they sent there.
...with the kids reading poetry, preferably of Vogon origin, to them.

And of course, a special police force and judicial system to watch over this special police force and judicial system.

Biker 2: "I say we hange 'em, then we kill 'em."
Lady Biker: "I say you let me have him first."

Capital punishment solves nothing, and just feeds the basest desire of humans for revenge.
I thought it reduced the rate of recidivism and repeat offenders.
