Here is a story of a woman who obviously has problems. She was caught this time, for her 4th DUI in this decade, while passed out in her vehicle.
Woman asleep at the wheel gets Wisconsin DUI : DUIAttorney.com: "When Hindsley was booked, officers discovered she was driving on a revoked license. She had three impaired driving incidents in 200, 2001 and 2003. The woman has been charged with first degree driving while impaired and she could be sentenced to up to seven years in jail. "
For those who think that the DUI laws are working, and that punishment works, see this case for a coherent counterpoint.
Let me put it another way. Review this woman's history and the facts of this case (see full article from the above quote). Is there a number of months or years in jail or prison that would be adequate to make you feel comfortable that she will not drink and drive again? Assuming your answer is no, then what are some alternative things (besides life in prison or execution) that would make a difference? Education? Treatment? A little help in life?
Perhaps.
