    I’m sympathetic to people in this predicament with a history of “possession of a controlled substance”. Gun possession somewhat less so (depends), and impaired driving not at all.

        All I’m saying is that drunk drivers don’t get punished nearly as much as they deserve, and thus I have no sympathy towards him even though he’s treated inhumanely.

      I get what you’re saying, but that still isn’t an excuse to imprison people in inhumane conditions, moreso when you see the number of false convictions for even capital crimes.

      And all three of the above: sounds like a perfectly reasonable target for deportation (minus the long detention, poor conditions, and cruelty). The problem is that we don’t want him back!
