What does a judge mean when he says “I could send you to jail, and I would not lose one bit of sleep over it”?
I was watching the movie Holes and during the sentencing part, the judge says “ I could send you to jail, and I would not lose one bit of sleep over it” where is he getting at when he makes that statement?
Mainly what I’m asking is what does it mean if someone states a decision of theirs and says “ and I would not lose one bit of sleep over it”

It means he's not really an impartial judge anymore.
That he personally doesn't like you, and he wants
to scare you.
It all depends on what you did and how rich you are
being confident about one's decision
no guilt, no self-doubt about whether the decision was the right one, or not. The judge is saying" there is no doubt in my mind that you belong in jail". I wouldn't ever even think about this decision again, never mind worry if I was right. I know I am right.
"Losing sleep over something" means worrying about it.
They'll feel no remorse or guilt about the decision.
He would have no doubts (which would keep him awake) about the correctness of his decision.
