So you are saying we should just let people who drive DUI or drive without a license get a free pass?

Reread my post and see if that's what I said.

You said “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,”
Is that not what you said? Driving under the influence of “mary jane” is DUI. There is a reason people have their license revoked, usually because they do not respect the law and put others in danger. Putting someone who has no respect for the law under house arrest does no good, as they will abide by that order as well as they do other laws.
