 Whether I agree with that or not, I believe the Supreme Court disagreed with
 that idea from the beginning.

 Probation is generally a benefit to the defendant, given as an alternative to
 jail.  If you don't want the probation (or parole for that matter), do the
 full sentence. >>

Again, it warrants repeating:  the woman informed the judge, in advance of any
violation of probation, in an exercise of self-injurious-honesty, that she
would not comply with that term if God told her to rescue again.  She didn't
simply nod and grin knowing that she'd be back in a week or two; how many
offenders nod and grin and are back in a week or two?  We all know the answer
to that one.
