The StateWho would restitution be paid to? Just curious.
Oh, Okay. A fine. Cause the states don't own the animals. So what would a 90K fine mean to him? think he'd ever pay it? And by the way, I don't know the answer that would be an effective punishment on people like that. It only penalizes someone who has something to lose. How do you punish someone who doesn't?The State
Same as all fines
We went to ST Kitts as well and found the same intel from those we met on the island. It doesn't take much to get some time behind those steel doors just down from the resort we stayed at. Our boat captain said cursing in public might get one a weekend in the slammer. We felt very safe there.This reminds me of a vacation I took many, many years ago to the island of St. Kitts in the West Indies. While going through the town square, we noticed all of the freshly painted rocks/buildings and no trash to speak of. There was a large pile of twigs/sticks/wood too. I asked our guy at the hotel and said it was all done by inmates. Plus, they had to cook their own meals on wood fired stoves. Don't recall what they were given in the way of food but it sure wasn't extravagant. Their sentences had no leniency either. One guy was convicted of hitting his wife. He got a 1 year sentence. Not 364 days, not 366 days. Nothing like time off for good behavior but they WOULD add on time if unruly. Inmate told the guy at the hotel he'd never get arrested again as it was unbearable. BINGO!!! That was all the rehabilitating that was required. Too bad as a society that's deemed cruel and unusual punishment. SMH.
