Write 5000X: ‘Boys Do Not Hit Girls’

A 27-year-old felon who has been in and out of state custody since age 14 is now facing eight years in Montana State Prison for violating terms of his release and six months in the county jail for fracturing his girlfriend’s face in three places. Pacer Anthony Ferguson, pictured, appeared in Yellowstone County District Court twice on Monday. He appeared first before District Judge G. Todd Baugh for sentencing on a recent misdemeanor assault conviction for punching his girlfriend. Baugh gave Ferguson the maximum allowed sentence of six months in the county jail, with credit for seven days served. He also ordered Ferguson to write “boys do not hit girls” 5,000 times. He told Ferguson to number the list, sign it and mail it to him by May 23. Ferguson also has to pay more than $3,800 in restitution for his victim’s medical bills/ Billings Gazette . More here.

Question: Do you think the unorthodox addition to this jerk’s sentence will have any impact?
