Not knowing the man, my hope is that he has learned his lesson, given up his criminal ways and become a productive member of society. I believe that the American system of justice is flawed in that our primary response to most criminal acts is jail time for the bad guy. I won't say that incarceration should not be an available tool but I think that society is better served when punishment consists of the criminal having to compensate the victim for damage plus punitive compensation depending on the case. Restitution is better for both society and the criminal - - less expensive to the community. - the criminal has the opportunity to repent and recover - individual citizens may choose to further punish the criminal with ostracism. (this happens even with our current model). - the damaged party is compensated. - probably a bunch more I'm not thinking of right now. I’m not familiar with Ray Sumrow’s crime.

Restitution is better for both society and the criminal –
- less expensive to the community.
- the criminal has the opportunity to repent and recover
- individual citizens may choose to further punish the criminal with ostracism. (this happens even with our current model).
- the damaged party is compensated.
- probably a bunch more I’m not thinking of right now.
