The man involved in this case has been sentenced to 6 months in prison, and besides the fine imposed, he must also pay $50 for each day of his incarceration, or a total of $9,000 dollars.
I think the verdict is outrageous. I have never agreed with those that have said they should not receive any punishment. After all, being naked in the middle of the square and having sex is way over the top. But prisons are meant to separate from society those whom would harm us. They committed a crime, but if ever there was a non-violent crime, this was it. What is being accomplished by this sentence. Certainly, not one of us is any safer because they were never a danger to any of us to begin with. I also do not understand the requirement to make him pay for his incarceration. While I do not like, as a tax payer, bearing the cost of a prison system, it seems to me that it is one of our duties as a society. How can we take away someone's freedom and his ability to earn a living and harm his ability to earn a living in the future, and then charge him for it. It just doesn't sit right with me. I really am flabbergasted at the verdict.
