Don't you think it's a bit harsh? In the UK you can get away with so much more and hardly get any jail time. The question on most peoples mind is, was 37p really worth it?

Robbery of 37p leads to 22 years in jail [URL]http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1038938.html[/URL]
A court in Turkey has sentenced six children to up to 22 years in prison for stealing less than 40 pence from two classmates.
The children, who at the time of the incident three years ago were aged between 11 and 15 years, were found guilty of theft and using threatening behaviour.
The court heard they threatened two children with a knife and stole 1 million Turkish lira - around 37 pence.
The judge ruled that the children had been old enough to realise what they were doing and its consequences.
After two years in custody the oldest children have now been sentenced to 22 years in jail with the youngest children given 10 year sentences. None of the children have been named.
They are appealing to the country's High Court.
