[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 65058, member: 97"] Lea, I agree with your post. Ant ends up with people who are violent, people who are mentally insande, you name it. he needs help but not punishment. I know DUIs can and do kill people. I know he needs to stop drinking and driving. he said when he is drunk he doesnt think about that. he doesnt think right at all. so what can we do? jail didnt help him the first 6 or 8 times. three county jails did not change him, as the warden said they are only there to hold him a set amount of time. they are to see that they are alive when released. period. he mostly hurts himself. this is chronic. only a miracle would stop this. I spent nearly 200.00 getting him to the doctor and getting him legal drugs to help his anxiety. he isnt even taking them. last weekend, an entirely different police dept picked him up in the middle of the night staggering down the road after he left a bar at closing time. they drove him home. he is an alcoholic, not a criminal. his alcoholism gets him in legal trouble. he is a disaster waiting to happen, a potential victim when drunk, dangerous to others when blacked out. he needs confined to protect him from himself. sadly jail is a horrible confinement, with no counseling, no education, bare walls to stare the hours away. while he is there he is crying and sick. he comes out even more embittered, more hateful, less hopeful, more in debt, less family support. if that sort of thing would have helped reform him, he would be sober by now. it just doesnt help.
