<<<Just what kind of, and duration for, an infraction like public drunkenness would you think is appropriate?>> Oh maybe 4 hours on three consecutive days. <<And how do you think the humiliation would help the person gain control over his or her drinking.>> Nothing about gaining control. Just punishment. Does jail help in "gaining control"? Is the present system working as well as you would want?? 70% of the jails are filled with drug related crimes at the present time. I have even thought that a lash or two might help clear out our jails. Just a wild thought.
