Better parenting through prison

Up to 3 years in prison for smoking pot in front of your kid? I’m not terribly averse to 3 strikes laws or similar limitations on too much judicial discretion, but once you start meting out jail time for essentially self-destructive behavior that may set a bad example for your kids, I’d say it does more to hurt than help the child’s emotional development to have a missing parent. It’s not family values in any sense of the word.
