would order an arsonist who sets fire to a forest to plant by the trees by
himself much more than he burnt.

think he should be made to plant trees. A lot
of trees, like a little forest
JULIA: To send him to afield and to make him plant the grass, a lot of flowersand trees. He must dig and fertilize the ground. This person must come to this field every week and water all the plants until they grow up.
OLGA: I think he shold be made to plant 100 trees and take care of them for a year.
2. A 15-year-old who is caught drinking and smoking:
ANN: I
would order a 15-year-old who is caught drinking and smoking to make a report
about danger of drinking and smoking every Sunday during two months and read it
to his classmates and pupils of junior school.
SERGE: I
think he should be made to take a look at adult drunk. Then he must be to clean
places like custody, railway stations...Well, places where might be a lot
drunks and homeless people.
TANYA: I would sentence him to work in a rehabilitation centre with alcoholics.
OLGA: I'll order this teenager to spend 2 months in hospital. It will show her how it is important to have good health. Helping sick people will show her possible results of irresponsible attitude to her habits and behaviour.
