In a different way I do think it is cruel on a long-term basis. I'm not saying if you put it on someone for six months and you don't have it coupled with house arrest, but you want to just make sure they keep a curfew or something. It wouldn't be the same thing. It's when it's coupled with house arrest and it affects the family. I think it can be cruel if it extends over a long period of time.
