    That’s just thinly veiled revenge justice. It’s not a good doctrine for a humane (or working) society.

      I don’t see it as revenge justice, but more like siding with victims.

      You can’t “rehabilitate” an abuser by having them work 60 or 90 days as a fast food worker. It could be part of a broader, long-term strategy to turn a horrible person into a normal one, but that doesn’t seem to be what’s happened here.

        But that is what it is essentially. It’s a variant of the eye for an eye principle. It feels just but it is not.

        Also 60-90 days are plenty of time to reflect on your actions. I don’t see why rehabilitation should be impossible in that time-frame.
