Only if one perceives the possibility of this person repeating said crime.

I think it’s fully possibly she’ll repeat the crime, or another one like it. I don’t see any reason to believe she wouldn’t.

3 1/2 years locked up in a little box for making what may be an honest mistake. No it wouldn’t be so bad if it was like in a Norwegian prison. And then BTW you’d basically destroy this person’s life to a certain extent.

Again, I don’t think jail time is a good solution or anything. I don’t want to give her jail time. But I don’t want to give a ton of people jail time; I want to give almost no one jail time in the way that our jails are set up.
