> do you think this is justice served?

I doubt it. For me justice would be healing. I doubt that prison is. (There may be some exceptions.) Something new needs to be added to our usual methods of dealing with things like this. Prison, yes, but more. I have seen TV programs of abusive mothers in prison being in group therapies where they actually learn something about why they do what they do, and how to not do it in the future.
