    At first I assumed that she was sent to jail for that long on prostitution charges - something I consider the criminality of to be absurd. Sex between consenting adults is not the business of the State.

    It still sounds quite harsh. Violent people get shorter sentences than that. Our jails fill with people convicted of petty, non-violent offenses while a revolving door frees the truly dangerous over and over again.
