7 years certainly is overkill depending on which prisoner he was looking to release. There are murderers that have to do less time. Also he has to pay a lot of money, in my opinion he should be awarded that money. Maybe he did something illegal, yes, should he be punished? Yes, but this is ridiculous.

He showed that the system is vulnerable and maybe prevented a dozen of other hacks that might have been succceeded in the future. Least they could do is give him a lower sentence... I still believe that all hacking should be legal, as long as you don't leak data/don't use your hacking for malicious intends. Though this is unfortantly the case for him, so he deserves a penalty, but not this.
