Putting them in jail isn’t going to get those fines paid and will actually cost a lot more for feeding and housing them nor will it get those children their child support. Each of your “solutions” will only cost the taxpayers an exorbitant amount of money for incarceration and welfare/food stamps/Medicaid/unemployment, etc. Yes, something different needs to be done but definitely NOT either of your suggestions. @Charlotte Bates,

People will continue doing the same illegal activity if they are not held responsible for their actions. The license was suspended for a reason, stay out from behind the wheel or issue tougher penalties than a slap on the wrist if caught! Something needs to be done at the court level to make these people more responsible for their actions and prevent innocent people from being hurt or killed!

Suspended license and still driving. This problem could be solved if anyone that gets their license suspended , should go to jail. This will stop suspended license drivers from driving. If their license is suspended for six months, then serve six months in jail. So forth and so on. Many people are killed from drivers that have had their license suspended, and if they were in jail, instead of driving again, that person may well be alive today. I know this is not the perfect solution, and not all people drive again if they get their license suspended, but I would dare to say that three out of five people that do get their license suspended will drive again, either drunk, on some kind of drug they are on, or texting.
