Sure. It's the impact generally of sending a person to jail, and the story outlines this person who is a youthful offender with no criminal record who essentially rehabilitated himself and become a prosocial member of society. He is suddenly stripped from his life, his family, his friends, his job and his Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and put into a jail cell for 12 months. Stripping this prosocial person away from the community and making him serve a jail sentence simply because it's a jail sentence that the code requires is not good for him, and it's not good for society as a whole.
