Judge demands hispanic robber to learn english or go to jail

In Pennsylvania, a judge sentenced three hispanics to learn English or go to jail. The men were on trail for robbery. Right now they are on parole and during this time they have to learn English, get their GED and a full-time job. If they don't follow these roles they would receive four to twenty four months in jail. I feel this decision the judge is making is very mean and unconstitutional. I do agree when you do speak to non english speakers, who live in this country, it is annoying that they still don't know the simple words of the language. They expect us to know their language and cater to them. What the judge is doing is to make a point about language barriers, but he took it too far. Issuing a jail sentence shouldn't be the option. I know that they committed a crime and need to be punished but don't force them to go to jail. Try community service as an option. Maybe in their minds learning English is punishment enough and they might actually want to go to jail, so they won't have to learn English.
