And how about more creative punishments? Any good examples of more bizarre cases? There's this one in the news today:
Killer must carry coffin photo
A woman who killed a man in a head-on collision has been ordered carry a photograph of the teacher in his coffin as part of her five years of probation. Jennifer Langston admitted vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment and reckless driving. A judge in Butler, Pennsylvania, sentenced her to 30 days in jail, plus house arrest and probation, and ordered her to carry a picture of Glenn Clark.
A few years ago I saw a man stood on the central reservation of a main road here holding a placard saying "I killed two people whilst driving drunk on this road". Apparently it was part of a court order, and he had to do it for two hours every month (IIRC). I guess he must have successfully appealed as I didn't see him again.
