So, I guess the rule is, molest away if you are short?

Granted, I don't know everything about the case - what the 2 counts were, how old the minor was, etc. but at face value, does not look good.

yeah - def need more info for an informed opinion on this one. Wish our prison system didn't suck so much that this would even be an issue! Prisons are meant to remove people from society - to punish them for their crimes. To rehabilitate. Not to put someone into a place where they will be abused and raped and taught how to be better criminals. bah.

Depending on the circumstances of the crime, this could be suitable punishment. But this guy better be watched like a hawk. Any little slip and probation time is over. (plus the victims should be ok with this. (I'm including the girls parents here)

Rehabilitation is part of the mission statement for some, but not all, prison systems. The Federal BoP, for one, does *not* include rehabiliation.

I'm ignorant and don't know what BoP stands for.... but I understand that rehab wouldn't be a priority for lifers. Anything less then that - it would just be stupid not to. (and our federal government would never do anything stupid (snork)).

Bureau of Prisons, and, well...
