On the contrary, this seems a very popular opinion all of a sudden.

So you want to put small time shoplifters and drug users in jail? Why?

Does it really go no further than "these are the rules, break the rules and I will spend a whole lot of money making your life even worse than it already is"?

Maybe not drug users, but certainly I would throw shoplifters there for a few days...

Then again I advocate that in any case of stealing or fraud the perpetrator should spend equal amount of time that it takes on minimum wage to earn that amount. So steal a hundred worth and it's a day.
