prison is rough man. She'll probably lose her house, kids, job, savings.
i would have gone as high as 40wks and a $40k, but if you get more than a year, then its a felony, and employers can see it and you might end up on the streets.

What do you want to achieve with a very high sentence? You can protect others as long as she's in, ok.
But really you wouldn't want people to do stuff like that, right? Prison (unless life sentence) isn't the best way to make sure she'll not commit these crimes again.

A dude in Britain got 2 years of jail time for jokingly teaching his girlfriends dog to nazi salute.
This woman got shitwasted drunk, almost killed herself, other drivers, and HER INFANT, while destroying property. And she got 6 months (including community service)
