sending this woman to jail would have been exactly the wrong way to deal with this problem, as it would have exposed her to the culture in the prison, and likely set her up as a repeat offender.

further, i'm not aware of any damages caused.

i don't believe in punishment in the worst cases, and i certainly don't believe in it for something like this. but, she should be liable for any actual, dollar amount damages she caused.

i would also support sending her to some kind of counseling as a condition for her probation. she clearly needs to talk to somebody, in search of potential personality disorders, and a likely eventual life on disability.

that's the other thing about sending people to jail - they don't tend to be likely to find jobs when they get out. and, we don't just let people starve on the street in this country.
