Daniel Mireles, a Harris, TX man, has been convicted of stealing money when he worked for the county. Along with paying back over $200,000, jail time and community service Mireless and his wife, and accomplice Eloise, must stand on a street corner in front of their home holding signs that read , "I am a thief. I stole $250,000 from a Harris County crime victim’s fund.” Each must sign their first and last name to the sign as well.
Do you believe this sort of legal sentence will work as a deterrent for other criminals, or is this cruel and unusual punishment?
