Given that any steps forward would require money, the question then becomes whether the proper place to spend it is in a way that will prevent incidents from occurring, or on punishment after the fact.

Frankly, I don't care if it costs more money to get them off the streets or if it costs more money to incarcerate them. The plain fact is, no matter how much you do, many still drink and drive and disregard the public's efforts.
I just want them off the streets.
