The thing is, they don't get over it or go back to normal. People are now realizing that. Once there's domestic violence, it'll always be there. It never fixes itself. It just gets worse.
Someone goes to jail now.
That part is good. Pentico sees domestic violence as more than a push or slap - it's intimidation. By law, if a woman hits her male partner, it's illegal violence. But that hit isn't going to put fear into him, or force him to do something he doesn't want to. She's fearful of the power he holds over her.
