The first reaction is that four years is way too short a sentence for getting drunk and killing someone - anyone. All human life has value. The question here is - what kind of rehab help will he get in prison? Him or any other inmate? After watching a documentary of prison life in Germany it seems that their system of incarceration involves tremendous efforts at re-training, re-socializing, helping to acquire job and life coping skills and it seems to be working very effectively.

Are we in Canada somewhere in between? Perhaps but I think we are probably closer to the US system except ours are state owned and the US are run privately, where the inmates are their customers. Customers that they are not too eager to drive away. I hope the man gets help in prison and can turn around to be a productive member of societ
