Sentences are short, conditions are humane. One may surmise that an infant will not have the life crushed out of her by spending a few months in such an institution if lovingly cared for by her father.

But as a parent, my opinion is that wrenching the mother/baby dyad apart at a year is worse than growing up in a prison.

Most humans are placed in cribs, playpens and "baby cages" as infants, and for the most part we turn out OK. In a way, it could serve as either the ultimate crime deterrant ("don't be bad or we'll send you to daddy!") or the ultimate crime recruiter ("the pigs did my dad wrong-- I remember seeing it as a kid!")
