Either the judge is stupid or the reporter is because there is no such thing as hard labor in prison now days. There would be law suits flying for anything more stressful than making them pick up trash along the highway.

We're talking Louisiana here bgill ... their system is quite a bit different than the other 56 states. It's not based on English Common Law but is based on a combo of Spanish / French and old Roman law.

As far as "No hard labor" .. the Louisiana State Pen ... Angola .. "The Farm" is still a working farm .. so the inmates there probably don't agree with your assessment.

I don't know about hard labor but I am guessing a male teacher, 15 y/o female student, would have been sentenced to more than probation.
