Animal Cruelty Conviction
 

I live in what I've fondly dubbed the "Idiot State." A couple of
years ago, it finally passed an anti-cruelty law for the animals.
Most "punishments" have been the slap-on-the-wrist type. Yesterday, a
fellow was sentenced to *prison* (not jail) for 18 months plus five
years' probation. This was a *first* so it made the news. Yaaay!
Maybe there's hope for the old state yet!!

Oh, YAAAAAYY! That's so encouraging! Of all the abuse cases I have followed
through, NOT ONE was sentenced to actually serve in prison. The sentences .I
just had a bad wicked thought. I hope the defendant's roomie in prison is a
really, really, big, really really tough animal lover.

Speaking of imprisoned animal lovers, has anyone watched the "Prison
Dogs" series on Animal Planet? Really interesting, what lving with a
dog and training it can do for "hard case" inmates. (And, since they
train the dogs as assistants to the handicapped, it has a good effect
for the dogs, too.)

I'm glad that they are taking animal cruelty cases seriously, but pray tell,
what is the difference between jail and prison? I thought they were just
synonyms?
