First-time, non-violent criminals do not belong in prison.

Did you sue them in civil court?

You are evading the question.

Okay. If this was their first offense, then, no, they should get probation.

Now, if you sued them, a judgment would be easy. You could then take that judgment and send it to the Three major credit bureaus, ruining their credit. They would not be able to buy a house, rent an apartment or finance a car!! Just to name a few...
