Great story, seretogis.

To expand this thread a little further: A lot of good judges hand down community service as part of the punishment for non-violent offenders, which I'm very much in favor of.

The problem is mandatory minimums for drug possession, which tie judges hands during sentencing. I think it would be pretty awesome if you had former crack users cleaning streets/parks/etc than sitting in jail.
