Nora Rynkiewicz

Indeed, it is possible that placing this girl in jail might put her in contact with white supremacists…and maybe she will come into contact with other supremacist groups as well, and they will take whatever opportunity they can find to beat the hell out of this girl, and worse, if they ever come to know who she is.

There is no “rehabilitation” in jail.  That’s not what jail is designed for, contrary to the words of wishful thinkers and pansy do-gooders.  No, this girl is to be punished by placing her in the hands of her enemies.  That, I suspect, is the intention of her sentence.

Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. on Monday sentenced 19-year-old Nora Rynkiewicz to nine to 18 months in county prison followed by three years of probation.

Nora Rynkiewicz is taken from Luzerne County Courthouse to the county jail after being sentenced for defacing a local synagogue.

Rynkiewicz faced charges of institutional vandalism, criminal mischief and ethnic intimidation for defacing a Wilkes-Barre synagogue in March with swastikas and other anti-Semitic messages.

Olszewski wasn’t sure Rynkiewicz, who psychiatrists say suffers from bi-polar disorder and other psychological problems, would stop associating with white supremacist groups. And the judge wanted the sentence to serve as a deterrent to Rynkiewicz and others who commit similar crimes.
