Slum sentence
A slumlord (slumlady?) who was convicted in 2002 of 11 counts of slum violations has failed to fix up her run-down Los Angeles apartment complex, so now she must live in it. The woman will be on an ankle bracelet to monitor her movements, and she must live in one apartment unit for the next three months, a judge ordered.If you ask me, that's a beautiful sentence, and one of the more appropriate ones I've ever heard. Since the woman has to live there for three months, I'm sure that will give her plenty of spare time to do things like, oh, fix the fire alarms and fire escapes.
