The twilight zone

Corey's sentence to live on an asteroid for fifty years is over the top. Hands down. Massachusetts states the 'death penalty' is too much as capital punishment, but I'd rather die than go through a day on Corey's shoes. I get bored if I'm left home alone for more than a couple hours, i would not last a day alone... Stranded... On an asteroid, nor would I last FIFTY YEARS. Corey may, or may not be guilty, but if the state is trying to punish him, sending him where they did is vindictive. They can strip him of his clothes, his family, his life, but  not his rights as a human!
