i agree with the premise that jail should only be for 'bad people' not for normal people who do bad things in a moment of weakness. i don't subscribe for one second that jail is an effective 'correctional' service nor do i believe it to be an effective tool of justice. in my opinion the only time a human being deserves to be in jail is because they present a realistic danger to innocent people in our society. but i think Stevens falls into this category, if it was a one off i'd give him the benefit of the doubt that he snapped in a moment of anger of something but if this happens repeatedly then it's syptomatic of something inherent to his personality and whether it's his fault of not, the safety of society has to come first.Prison is full of people who couldn't control their emotions and anger
There is the odd psychopathic person
Stevens isn't a psychopath
