I can't even begin to tell how offensive I find that, as a player and GM.

Setting them free again, ok.
Talking to the noble in question if he's doing it purely for 
entertainment, well ok.

But "restitution"???

That judge is positively insane, and I don't mean as in "funny", I

into the zoo (happens), setting the animals free (happens, rarely) and 
giving them money so they can take the next place home (insane).
