That's two deaths. And they get a year?

Harsh, he won't be able to drive while in prison.

Sounds like that's what really pisses off Americans, not that they're in a jail per se, but that they can't drive while in there.

We're willing to tolerate the threat of abject homelessness as consequence for non-participation in the labor market, but revoking access to a car is seen as cruel and unusual because it makes access to that labor market more difficult.

It's the most hypocritical shit in the universe. We don't take a person's drivers license when they kill someone with their car because we insist on essentially making them homeless if they don't have one.
