Kentucky Judge Sentences People to Church |
I can understand the punishment, although it is cruel and unusual.
Imagine sentencing someone to the Hell of church! better them than me:

But in reality, this is an abuse at best. How does this judge figure
that replacing one addiction with another (even if it worked) is an
improvement?
