Vindictive? Maybe not. Outrageously stupid and thoughtless? Definitely. What good is 8 months of prison for petty crime going to do after already serving 44 years? Prison is supposed to be more about rehabilitation than punishment. If he isn't rehabilitated in 44 years inside another 8 won't do much. In this case it's just a waste of tax payers money.
