Nope. Just extensive personal experience with the criminal justice system. Out of hundreds of summary retail thefts I don’t think I’ve ever seen jail time.

I'll chime in. I'm a public defender in a conservative county and I've never seen anyone get jail time for a summary retail theft. Court costs and restitution.
