Ohio woman's sentence includes Christmases in jail
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A central Ohio judge has ordered a woman to spend the next five Christmases in jail as part of her sentence for issuing state ID cards and driver's licenses to immigrants who entered the country illegally.
Prosecutors say 44-year-old Betina Young — a former license agency employee — accepted payments from applicants to falsify records showing they had verified their immigration status. She has pleaded guilty.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/17AzoIw ) that Judge Michael Holbrook put Young on probation Monday for five years — ordering that she spend a minimum of three days in jail each Christmas while on probation.
If she violates probation, she could go to prison for 15 years.

(nothing like teaching the good Christian value of mercy than making someone sit in a jail cell during Christmas. So she cut some immigrants a break and fudged some numbers, should she go to jail for that at all? Wouldn’t a fine or public service more get the point across?)
