Repeat DUI Offender Sentenced

William Pfeiffer will appear in court today around 8:30 in the morning to find out what kind of a sentence he will recieve for having over five DUI's. William was caught drinking one block away from his home with his headlights off. The officer then found two beer cans in the truck which William was driving. William could face up to seven and a half years in prison for these crimes. I think that William should face up to more years in prison because he has done this more than once. He has committed these offenses five times and should have a bigger consequence for what happened to him and the people that he has endangered while driving under the influence. the courts i think are not giving out strong enough sentences to people who do something more than one and should. this could possibly cut down on the crime and influence people not to commit these offenses again.

I agree with you about keeping repeat offenders in jail. Not doing this in the past has led to many more crimes being committed. However, it must be said that keeping offenders in jail has led to overcrowding, which potentially keeps other dangerous criminals in jail for less time.
