On a positive note, it probably saved her life.
- bjourne 7y agoYes, but imagine the savings if she had gotten treatment instead of 20 years of pointless punishment.
- alexis_fr 7y agoAnd 1 year in prison cost as much as 1 year at Harvard.
- rienbdj 7y agoPerhaps, but Harvard diplomas are valuable because they are scarce.
- alphabettsy 7y agoYour response completely misses the point. The $30k/year could go towards any number of more productive things than incarceration.
- code_duck 7y agoYou'd have to ask her if she would have preferred to die at 60 than spend her 60s languishing in prison, I guess. The grim truth is that sometimes life is very unpleasant and not everyone always feels that living is better.
