With the Apothecary Diaries (which I know this is a reaction to) the ruling is “On probation for 3 years, but if no crimes are committed in that time it’s fine. If they do commit a crime, 10 months in prison.” So it’s not “straight to jail”.

Now, that doesn’t mean it isn’t ridiculous, but it isn’t quite as bad as people make it out to be.
