Sadly, our justice system probably won't provide him with either. Given Corvese's young age, he's probably quite energetic and should be sentenced to many hours of community service, not locked up. In lieu of jail time, how about tapping his vitality to get rid of invasive plants, pick up trash at cul-de-sacs and along the Norwalk River, educate him about how to improve/maintain paths at open spaces, train him to provide painting or janitorial services, or serve on roadcrews? Of course, he would have to be closely supervised, and if his parents are still willing to put a roof over his head, maybe nighttime house arrest and an ankle bracelet are the answers. Think of how much potential labor is just wasted away in jails instead of accomplishing projects that could help reduce our budgets and deficits. Yes, violent offenders and pedophiles should stay "behind bars." We as taxpayers are paying to provide convicts with meals, clothing, TV and medical help, items which so many among us are struggling to afford. With Taser technology, it should be more reasonable to keep convicted workers on job sites where they belong.

It would be helpful to stop repeat offender's with appropriate justice/treatment. It comes down to management expertise. And yes, Polito builds some of the finest homes in Wilton and they are honest in the process. I know firsthand..
Who's whining? You must be related to the do nothings who enjoy wasting taxpayer money on admitted thieves of little old ladies money. The kid's a addicted crook and he should be locked up. Polito or no Polito.
