And why should she be sent to prison when muggers and burglars often escape custodial sentences after committing far more serious crimes.

I think there is a serious disconnect here as to just what crimes should be punishable by custodial sentences.

Breaking into an old persons home bearing them senseless is punishable by a suspended sentence and an ankle tag whereas trolling on the Internet is a six month prison sentence..???

She tried to get some of her family members locked up by making out that they had made sexual comments towards her? She was slandering other people's names so she deserved her punishment imo.

I don't think 20 months is excessive, she'll probably be out before Christmas and it might make similar idiots think twice.

But she is.. It states in the article she is.

..I think that even if what she did was just vindictive and nasty, the extremes she went to in themselves show that she's not mentally healthy...I know that she deserves a punishment but I'm just not sure that a prison sentence is going to help her at all...but do they have counselling/therapy while they are in there..?..

This is actually pretty common. There have been many cases of people victimizing themselves, like that lesbian waitress recently who claimed she didn't get a tip because her table was homophobic, also there are many examples of black people claiming they were targeted by racists by someone hanging a noose outside their door, or scratching a swastika into their car, only to turn out they did it themselves.

Some people get off on painting themselves as a victim of bullying for the sympathy. It's a shame because these stories always over shadow the stories of people who really are victims.

It's like a new version of Munchausen by proxy syndrome.

I agree , this was the point I was trying to make earlier. I think she has mental health issues but even if it can be shown that her behaviour was of her own mind and she deliberately set out to frame these people, I still wonder at the imposition of a custodial sentence when we hear of people committing far more serious crimes including assault, burglary etc.. who escape custodial sentences.

I just question the fairness of the system which will now take this obviously disturbed lady and now put her into the prison with all that that entails..

I question if this really is the best way to punish this lady..??
