I think prison population is a gross problem in our society. And the Original Poster that started this thread is a good example of that. 2.5 years for a speeding ticket? That is insane. I will not rest until the world has been rid of gross unfair prisons sentences.
It just occurred to me - and do not misunderstand me, I wouldn't wish this on OP - but still: wouldn't this thread not have been even more epic if he was sentenced to 3.5 years?
