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
