[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I think our sentences are WAY too long in the US. They used to be 2 years for most crimes and now we have people locked away for 25+ years. [/quote]

Well the victim’s “sentence” was losing her entire life. Her family will live with this pain way beyond 3.5 years. It’s absurd how we treat people who choose to drink and drive with such kid gloves. Why should they get to go on and live out the rest of their lives as if nothing happened?[/quote]

Long imprisonments won't bring anyone back. [/quote]

Neither will a short imprisonment  :roll: if you don’t want to go to jail don’t break the law. Plus, long sentences may act as deterrent for the next loser who makes a choice to drink and drive.[/quote]

Long sentences clearly don’t deter crime, otherwise we’d have empty jails. [/quote]

Long sentences keep dangerous people away from the rest of us. If all it does is keep selfish idiots off the road and away from innocent people I’m cool with that. [/quote]

Welp, you're paying for it. It's insanely costly to keep people in prison. It isn't as if someone who drove drunk can't be a responsible member of society. They're not some malicious psychopath serial killer, thirsting for blood. [/quote]
