[QUOTE=Code3Response;48150028]A month in jail. Not prison. I would sure hope Finland doesnt put those awaiting trial in a prison. I sure hope Finland doesnt put people who will spend less than a year incarcerated in prison.[/QUOTE] In the US at least, jail is worse than prison.

[QUOTE=usaokay;48149239][quotes][/QUOTE] Wow, the pampered little roaches. Self-satisfied script kiddies like this who nonetheless do real damage are let off easy because of where they live, and yet actual white-hats like Aaron Swartz have their life taken away because the paranoid luddites in American law enforcement want to make an example out of him.

Increasing the severity of punishment does little to deter crime. 5. There is no proof that the death penalty deters criminals.[/quote]
