Those two sound like scumbags.

No it's not.
That's putting it mildly.
I have no respect for someone who shows remorse ONLY when caught.
Have any links proving that they have lobbied for MM and three strike laws?Really? Is corporations that build prisons lobbying for mandatory minimum sentences and three strikes laws really any different from this?
:doh
At worst, Hillary Transue thought she might get a stern lecture when she appeared before a judge for building a spoof MySpace page mocking the assistant principal at her high school in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
She was a stellar student who had never been in trouble, and the page stated clearly at the bottom that it was just a joke.
Instead, the judge sentenced her to three months at a juvenile detention center on a charge of harassment.
This story makes me sick. Read in the IHT about it today and frankly the 2 judges should be locked up for a very long time and the 2 companies in question be desolved.
These judges can claim all they want but some of the cases speak for themselves.
A girl, making a mock Myspace page to take the piss on her school assistant principle, and explicit writing "THIS IS A JOKE" on the page, was given 3 months in jail.. I mean wtf.

I mean come on!
Just as a point of clarification, there's no such thing as a juvenile "jail." There are two types of placements, open and restricted. Restricted is only for recidivists with violent tendencies, so this was almost certainly an open placement. It means that it was basically a group home setting where the kids still went to school, etc.
Not by way of excuse, but rather as a point of clarification. I'd also wager that there's more to the story than that, as the parents/legal aid would have obviously appealed the case otherwise and would have won.
