Or,is it that people are so upset, they wish to seek punishment?
if that is the case,why not find some other form of public humiliation that costs less.
in some muslim countries this woman might have her hand chopped off,or be publicly executed,500 years ago in England,she would have been put in the stocks, every day, for a period of time,probably a more effective humiliation and punishment than prison .
surely, the priority must be preventing this occurring again ,plus counselling for the abused.
every day that this woman spends in prison,she is using money that could be allocated for prevention of future abuse
