Though the jury’s still out on the most effective solution, one thing is clear: harsher prison sentences for drunk drivers don’t translate to fewer DUI offenders on the road.

      It’s not supposed to be a deterrent. It’s supposed to be a place for rehabilitation.

      You’re not supposed to be able to leave prison until after you’ve received sufficient hours with a therapist to make you fully understand the harm you’ve caused others, empathize with the victims, and decided to correct your ways

        Yeah that’s often not what prison is though. We can’t even care enough to invest in each other, nevermind investing in convicts.
