  They shouldn’t be inside at all. We don’t have the prison space to spend on things like this. It should be dealt with in the community.

    I.e. translating to no real punishment. For permanently destroying a historically significant site.

    Then make space. Start at the upper end until there is space enough.

      We already jail more than France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. We’re about 40% more than the nearest one of those which is France. Several of them we’re 2-3x more per capita.

      We put too many people in prison. We’re not on American levels, but it’s still too many.

    How, exactly, would one do that? Especially considering these men seem to have no community spirit whatsoever?

    Get then in the stocks to be pelted by tomatoes by the community

      Not quite what I was thinking, but better than 4 years a piece.
