Creative punishment for Triple B means no prison time



Convicted bribe taker Barbara Byrd Bennett faces up to seven years in prison for her scheme to enrich herself at the public education trough. But spending a single dime on her incarceration is a waste of public money. Bennett's criminal career is over; she's non-violent and no longer a danger to society. How bout a punishment that will weigh on her every one of those 2,555 days much more than the slammer? I'm referring to home confinement with the stipulation that she spend every school day tutoring needy kids in the schools she sold out to the fake principal consulting company.

She could spend each month in a different school, starting off with a public apology to the entire student body, before setting up in her own classroom tutoring and mentoring the neediest students one on one. It would save we taxpayers a hunk of loot; offer help where it's sorely needed; and allow Bennett to expiate her societal transgressions in a uniquely constructive manner. She should also be paid for this valuable work at the nominal rate for any convict doing prison work. If we do this, everybody wins except the hard time dead-enders who think nothing of adding to our No. 1 world wide ranking of incarcerating our citizenry.
