Our jails are bursting at the seams. This is because we are filling them with people who drove without a license or puffed some mary jane. House arrest seems a good alternative, and it costs the taxpayers much less. If they violate house arrest, double the sentence and fine them. A net profit for taxpayers in that case.

Are you going to argue that for all non-violent criminals or only for celeb coke heads?

So you are saying we should just let people who drive DUI or drive without a license get a free pass? For many a small fine is going to be no deterrent to obey the law. There are maximum fines for infractions. The judge could have given ms Prissy 10 times the max and it would not have been any deterrent to her. Daddy would have taken care of it for her.
