You lost me at 2 times in a week!!! WE really need to do something about this law and prison structure. I say We because everyone gets mad at the system allowing people like this to be able to get free and arrested again for the second time, but petty crimes in jail. It’s the way the laws were wrote years ago. Times have have changed and only WE can change it.
