LOCKPORT – Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said Thursday that “shock incarceration,” the state prison system’s boot camp-style program for young felons, is just what Daniel L. Swann needs.
Swann, 20, of Franklin Avenue, Lockport, was sent to shock for six months for violating the terms of his probation sentence for first-degree auto stripping.
Swann was placed on probation in August 2011 for a spree of about a dozen break-ins to cars and garages over a three-night period on Purdy and Ridge roads in Lockport and Aiken Road in Pendleton.
If Swann flunks out of boot camp, he will serve one to three years in a regular cell, but Farkas told Swann that she thinks the program will give him “discipline, responsibility, focus, all the things you seem to lack.”
