I agree with you. I'm from rural Alberta. I talk to our RCMP staff sergeants all the time. They tell us that one of the largest problems they have is the fact that they catch these guys who spend no time in jail and then are right back out on the streets doing the same thing, because they know there's no real punishment for what they're doing.
I'd like to switch the subject a little bit here. Your statistics that you were talking about earlier show that more jail time equals a higher success rate in stopping drug use. What is it that occurs during this jail time that helps in those statistics when they get outside of jail?
