There seems to be a huge range of opinions about whether convicted criminals are entitled to humane treatment and what constitutes humane. Also about whether sentencing should be about revenge, punishment or rehabilitation.

So to get an idea of the general cellar position on this, what would you see as a fitting punishment for the following crime?

A 21 year old man is accused of raping a 17yo girl employed by his parents to babysit his younger siblings. He claimed innocence, -he admits sex but says she told him she was 18 and agreed to it, she says he was drunk and violent and forced himself on her and she clearly said no many times. The jury finds him guilty.

What should his punishment be?

(if you see no poll, wait a few minutes, please....)
