Is house arrest sufficient punishment? (Video)

Some comments attributed to former Vernon mayor Sean Harvey have people talking about conditional sentences, or so-called "house arrest." Conditional sentences allow some criminals to serve their time at home rather than in an actual jail cell. Harvey becomes one of about 2,000 British Columbians currently serving this kind of sentence. But now his own words have raised the question about whether this kind of penalty is really much of a penalty at all.
