A judge in Britain's Cambridge Crown Court sentenced two teenage boys to jail for burglary in May but allowed their 20-year-old partner, who has a much longer criminal record, to have a non-custodial sentence because he has a "cleanliness disorder" that a jailhouse would traumatize.

The British are ****ing retarded.  "We're gonna let this guy who was sentenced to life in prison go free because he'll be dead within months..."  Two years later he's still kicking.

While it sounds stupid, I think you're preaching the same point: the punishment should fit the crime/factors*/...

*: here you specify age, but the judge also took in account mental state.

Stick him in a private cell with a large bucket of cleaning supplies. It's not that hard.

Yeah.  My first thought was "So what.  If he didn't want to be in a dirty cell, he shouldn't have done the crime."  My second thought was "He'll have the cleanest cell in the prison."

Yup.  Lettin' him stay out gives him a pass of sorts.  Private cell sounds fine to me. 

Jail is supposed to be for rehabilitation but that's not the reality.  The reality is jail today is supposed to traumatize people into stayin' out of trouble.
