I want to say that a confession does very little and life altering changes like not drinking and driving might have done more good in the long run. Imagine if the guy confessing dedicated his life to charity work, instead of languishing in a prison cell?

I wonder if that's how Scandinavian countries, who are renowned for having much better prison conditions and rehabilitation programs, would handle such a case. For a repentant person convicted of manslaughter, assign them a lifetime of community service to make up for their crimes.

The challenge is to correctly identify the deserving candidates. You can fake remorse.

And there also is the other side. The lives that were lost and the lives that got shattered for no mistake of theirs. Not everyone has a large heart. Its difficult for some to see one of your close relation's killer walking free.

Maybe Georgia's chain gangs?
