Some judges have reputation for handing out unusual sentences.
These punishments are carried out of two principles: retribution and rehabilitation.
Retribution serves as a deterrent to other criminals.
Rehabilitation seeks to educate the criminal so that he or she may understand why their actions are wrong.
So woman was sentenced to spend a night in the woods for abandoning 35 kittens in a forest on a cold night.
Judge Cicconetti’s unusual ruling was example of his unique brand of ‘creative justice’.
He wanted that women to feel the same pain as the animals.
Also for example he has ordered noisy neighbors to spend a day of silence in the woods, or to listen to classical music instead of rock.
And a man who called a police officer a pig was sentenced to spend two hours standing in a pen with a pig on a city sidewalk.
In conclusion, we can say that in addition to retribution and rehabilitation, a creative jurisdiction allows you to save money on tower of the maintenance of criminals.
