atleast 2ft wide? jeez..

Hm....the pic should be like 4 ft wide at least

hmm...it is quite interesting..

I definitely know that I wouldn't want that picture to be displayed in my house. Having a picture of the kid you killed being permanently displayed would screw me up for the rest of my life...

Its a cool idea but wouldent that have serious mental reprecusions. Id imagine that could lead to depression or even suicide. Accepting responsibility for things we've done is one thing, but that seems to far.

I think it would be more logical to have the offender display the picture in his cell for the 2 years he is in prison, if in fact the judge thought the picture to be a good addition to jail time. If the judge thought there was cause for further punishment than 2 years in jail, he should have sentenced him to more time.

wow, a powerful form of punishment

men are visual creatures, i'm sure this punishment will force him to drive more responsibly

But think about this - surely vehicular manslaughter with DUI connotations would result in a 8-10 year sentence which would have far more mental repercussions than a 2 year sentence and the rest of the time spent with a reminder of what he has done.

I think it is a great idea. Saves the government $100k per year for someone they don't have to lock up too.

On that note its all depending on the person and the placement, if he wants im sure theres a 'prominent' location on his wall somewhere in his house that he wont often look, wheras being in prison your reminded every day. Additionally if he doesnt regret his situation or feel a large ammount of guilt then it will have zero effect.
