1. Well, putting someone in jail rarely serves to silence them.

Prime examples being Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Putting them in jail increased their support among the public. Jailing them had exactly the opposite effect of what was desired by their jailers.

I mean, I'd hate to see Cindy in jail, but I doubt seriously that it would silence her in any way.
