I agree with you that DUI is a serious offense and drinking per se ruins countless lives...the problem is incarceration has proven to be ineffective in dealing with same...we need earlier and better treatment and the use of technology to disable vehicles etc thus keeping drunks off the road. I'm not saying some don't need incarceration but I'm merely pointing out that aside from keeping them off the road for their length of imprisonment, little is gained.
