Most people who get sentenced to jail have made a stupid mistake or they deserve to pay
for their actions.
However, not everyone sentenced to jail deserves the punishment that they receive from a judge.
Sometimes the judge tries to get creative with their sentences so let’s take a look
at the top 10 dumbest prison sentences.

Starting us off in at Number 10 with Overdue library books sentencing.
Lori Teel checked out a Twilight book from her local library and no, her bad taste in
books wasn’t the reason for her sentencing.
Well, she forgot to return the book that she had checked out for two years and she racked
up a staggering bill of $36 in fines.
She refused to pay the late fee and because of that, she was handcuffed and taken to jail
where she had to stay overnight.
Sentenced to jail for sending her children to the wrong school district comes in at Number
9.
A mother who didn’t live in the best neighborhood decided to send her children to the neighboring
school district that has way better schools.
Technically the mother didn’t lie and put their father’s address on the application
because they were living there part time.
However, once the school found out that the children weren’t living at that address
full time, they contacted the authorities.
The mother was sentenced to serve ten days in jail for sending her kids to a nice school.
So, I guess she should’ve sent them to the crappy school?
What kind of sentencing is this?
Getting arrested in at Number 8 we have the man who was ordered to get a job.
A 25-year-old man from Spain took his parents to court demanding that they pay him a monthly
allowance of 400 euros.
He took them to court because they refused to financially support him unless he tried
to find a job.
Well the judge didn’t like this very much because he ruled against him and sentenced
him to leave his parents’ house within 30 days and ordered him to get a job.
Well, that completely back fired didn’t it.
Now in at Number 7, is a man sentenced to three days in jail for sending a friend request
on Facebook.
A man named Jacob Jock was on the jury for an auto negligence case and he did do something
really stupid.
He sent a friend request to the defendant who was a young attractive female.
But come on man, you’re on the jury… you are supposed to be neutral.
You can’t be hitting on the defendant.
I mean get some common sense.
He was obviously removed from the jury but the judge decided to take things to the extreme.
He also sentenced him to jail for three days.
This seems a little bit too excessive.
Number 6 brings us to another Facebook crime.
A woman was jailed for not deleting her Facebook account.
Paula Asher was originally convicted of driving while under the influence.
After her sentencing, she went on to Facebook and posted this “My dumb ass got a DUI and
I hit a car…LOL” Now obviously she deserved to go to jail for that but this aggravated
the judge so much that he ordered her to delete her personal Facebook account.
When she failed to delete it, the judge ordered her to go to jail for two days.
This just seems like a violation of her free speech.
I didn’t know writing stupid posts on Facebook was a crime but I guess it is…
half way there in at Number 5 is a man who got three life sentences.
Now I know what you are thinking, he must’ve done a really horrible crime.
Well, not exactly.
Clarence Aaron was sentenced to prison back in 1993 at the age of 23 for being “involved”
in a drug deal.
He wasn’t the seller or buyer, all he did was introduce the two men who were actually
involved with the transaction.
He didn’t plead guilty because he didn’t believe that he did anything wrong.
Well because of that, he received three life sentences.
He was in college at the time and didn’t have a criminal record.
I think this sentencing was way too harsh.
Coming into Number 4 is a teenager who was sentenced to listen to 20 hours of classical
music.
Andrew Vactor was potentially facing a $150 fine for playing rap music too loudly through
his car stereo.
However, a judge offered to reduce the fine to $35 if Andrew spent 20 hours listen to
classic music by Bach, Beethoven and Chopin.
Apparently, this was supposed to be a lesson showing him how it felt to listen
to music that he didn’t enjoy.
He only lasted 15 minutes.
Number 3 we have two teenagers who made an ass of themselves.
Back in 2003, two teenage friends stole and vandalized a statue of the baby Jesus that
was in a nativity scene at a church.
A judge sentenced them to walk around town with a donkey and a sign that said “sorry
for the jackass offense.”
Oh and they also had to replace the statue, complete drug and alcohol counseling and serve
45 days in jail.
Chained up in at Number 2 is The teenager who was sentenced to ten years of church.
This 17 year old boy was convicted of first degree manslaughter after a drunk driving
incident that killed one of his friends.
Instead of sentencing this young criminal to jail, a judge thought it was more appropriate
to sentence him to one decade of attending church services.
So, in order to avoid going to prison, Tyler Alred must graduate from high school, graduate
from welding school, take drug/alcohol and nicotine tests for a year, wear a drug and
alcohol bracelet, participate in victim’s impact panels and attend church for the next
ten years.
Finally in at our Number 1 spot is a woman who was sentenced to five Christmases in jail.
A judge from Ohio sentenced a woman to spend the next five Christmases in Jail.
She was convicted of a driver’s license scam that involved illegal immigrants and
now for the next five years she will be incarcerated during Christmas time but for the rest of
the year she is a free woman.
Well almost free, when she isn’t in jail she will be on probation and if she misses
her jail time or violates her probation, she will face 15 years in jail.
I know for some people; missing Christmas day or Christmas
dinner would be the ultimate form of punishment.
Well there you guys have it…
