| Judge orders men to learn English Or go to jail! I wish every judge were this creative. If I were that judge they would go to jail anyway or be deported immediately. |

Well it's about time someone with authority made some sense/ If they're illegals though, would hope he'd of deported them instead. Didn't see anything about that? Anyhow, need more judges that use common sense. Doubt they'll learn it though. Probably just move somewhere else.

Agreed, jmp. There used to be a time when judges would give a kid or young man (like up to age 22) a chance to enlist in the Marine Corps before passing sentence on them. If the kid could hack it in boot camp and made it as a Marine, his record would be expunged. If he got kicked out of boot camp, the judge would slap his ass into the slammer. I've always suspected those oldtime judges made a lot of good citizens that way. I don't think you could get away with it now. The Marines want high school graduates with clean criminal records and no drug use, ever. But if they could be persuaded to make an exception, they could help save a lot of kids who just did something dumb from the prison system and straighten them out.

Oh ... I'm certain the ACLU is hand-wringing over this, ready to sue over some kind of discrimination complaint against the Judge...

Now forcing someone to say, go to a certain church or to AA specifically (AA has a strong religious basis), that's another matter. But a judge can order someone to get counseling for a host of disorders or what have you. I'll bet this flies by just fine. I see no problem with it, at any rate. - Coeloptera | |

You think that's good? Read about our "alternative sentence" judge . . . Local judge plays chicken with defendants when it comes to sentencing He has a long history of doing things like this. I have seen defendants standing on the corner holdng signs saying "I AM A PETTY THIEF" and other fascinating things. Some people love him. Here's what he did to a dog shooter . . . Despite appeal, Madison man will dress as 'Safety Pup' as punishment in dog shooting Sleep on the street you scumbag . . . . Painesville man sentenced to the cold streets for stealing from the poor - Cleveland Metro News – The Latest Breaking News, Photos and Stories from The Plain Dealer Sleep with the kittens before you go to jail . . . .

I saw on T.V. along time ago about a judge who made young people listen to Lawrence Welk for four hours in the basement at the courthouse.(real loud)They were busted for playing their music loud while driving in town.And the judge just got tired of just giving them fines that daddy and mommy paid for them....
