To me it makes sense that a judge would want to send a message, I mean if you're in a state wide emergency there can be no tolerance for people looting expensive items that aren't necesseties. While it makes sense that a judge would want to do it, ultimately housing criminals for crimes like that will eventually prove to be less useful than hoped. Like it has been said, community service (chain gang style would be awesome) should have been necessary along with paying back the liquor store for the cost of what they tr ied to steal. Community service would be best, though, since being housed in jail provies food, a place to live, etc. If you have to do community service it takes up a lot of your time, you're doing good work in the process, and you're not being fed, housed and all of that.
