English should be our official language.
If the defendants appeal, the sentence will probably be overturned because it's unusual (constitution says "no cruel or unusual punishment"). However, this sentence is better for everyone - learning english and getting a GED > getting fucked in the ass in jail, which is what they would have gotten normally. And for the rest of us, paying to educate them is cheaper than paying to imprison them. Also, there's a lower chance that they will commit more crimes in the future. So I think this is a good sentence, and that more judges should give similar sentences. It's become more and more common in the US to try people under 18 as adults and sentence them to lengthy sentences. This is a bad thing, in my mind.I don't think this judge should be able to decide on any sentence that he thinks is appropriate. The sentences he is giving will probably not solve anything. There should be more limits on sentences for judges. It is much more common for judges to give extremely harsh sentences for even minor crimes. This is only one judge in one court, there are not many judges that are concerned with getting educations for criminals.
