[ ]  Dept. of Holy Joey Vento!: A Luzerne County, Pa. judge ordered four convicted Latino men to, among other conditions, learn English or receive jail time. (Times Leader)

 

The defendants – Luis Reyes, Ricardo Dominguez, Kelvin Reyes-Rosario and Rafael Guzman-Mateo – all needed translators when they appeared in court to plead guilty to criminal conspiracy to commit robbery. It led to Luzerne County Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. leveling the unusual condition….

 

But in order for them to avoid the 24 months in prison, Olszewski ordered the men to learn to read and write the English language, earn their GED, and, within 30 days of release, get a full-time job while on parole. The defendants, who range in age from 17 to 22, are to return to court in one year with their parole officers to take an English test, according to Olszewski’s order.

 

“If they don’t pass, they’re going in for the 24 (months),” Olszewski said.
