In Missouri beer and liquor are sold in grocery stores. Why then with this alcoholic drink sold literally everywhere you go, are so many men and women in prison because they drink it and drive home.
Most of the citizens in prison did not have an accident or even drive poorly. But instead, they were caught in a blockade set up by the police to catch citizens who drink a little and then drive.
Is that not entrapment?
Follow me as I investigate the real statistics on citizens of Missouri in prison for drinking and driving. I believe these laws are too harsh, do not solve the problem, and that it is cruel and inhumane treatment of alcoholics, who would benefit from rehabilitation, but not the type found in prison.
When these folks get out of prison, they cannot get a driver's license, have a felony record, owe money to the prison and state, and unless they are fortunate enough to have loving, understanding, and caring family to help them get back on their feet, these once productive citizens are lost to homelessness and destitution.
