My character is new to the grove. Walks in, feels the tension all around. Happens to pick up a shovel that doesn't belong to him, and immediately one of tieflings decides that he need to go to jail... forever. Forever.
There I am, guilty of picking up someone else's shovel, and my sentence is life imprisonment. I sat there for a long time. No word from anyone, no trial, nothing. They'd probably even let me starve back there.
VERSUS
The druids who have provided, albeit temporarily, a cozy reprieve from the road? Plenty of free items in crates all around, including food and bedrolls and even backpacks.
It also becomes clear early on that the druids at least offer the accused a trial. And when the young lady was found guilty, they put a time limit on the sentence.
