Re: Jail for non-compliant women

I've never been in favour of taking serious action againt the mother due to the effect it could well have on the child, but such a short spell in jail of 3 days could be a good idea. Providing suitable provisions can be made to look after the child or children, I really think this could be workable.

Opinions?
I agree in principal that action needs to be taken but I think jail is a bit harsh, someone with a prison record near enough has their entire employment life ruined, perhaps as a last resort maybe. (yes, I am in the same position with a neglegent ex-partner)
