Sentences -doing time in Jail.

I was reading the other day that someone had been sentenced to some total
time in the region of 2000 years in concurrent sentences.

If occurred to me what a waste. I was musing that instead of sentencing
people to years in jail why not to a number of Chippendale chairs hand
sanded . Instead of 5 years, 5000 chippendale chairs hand sanded to say 220
grit.

This solution in my mind would end up with far more productive chairmakers
and fare fewer residing in insane asylums ...just a thought.....

How would they get early paroles, say at 80 or 120 grit? ;-)

I've heard they do this in China. We call it slave labor, but
personally I had rather be working than sitting around watching TV for
2000 years. Especially woodworking.

Sorry Mike, but that would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. But
I like the idea!

Not until their fingers were worn down to nubs. Then give them time off for
the nubs to grow back and they can start over.

Incidentally my brothers name is Saddam
