The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... There is case law to suggest that banishment has no rehabilitative role in modern penology and is instead contrary to public policy. The courts finding that banishment violates public policy often focus on the problems associated with banishing a defendant from an entire state. These courts reason that “[b]anishment would tend to incite dissension, provoke retaliation, and disturb that fundamental equality of political rights among the several states which is the basis of the Union itself. To permit one state to dump its convict criminals into another is not in the interests of safety and welfare; therefore, the punishment by banishment to another state is prohibited by public policy.” We find this reasoning equally applicable to banishment from entire counties.”
