I am not familiar with the case you are speaking of, and often times people over state what happens in minimum security facilities

also I see you one of many that confuse rehabilitation with giving people a slap on the hand, or "club med" type of facilities.

Retribution is in no way needed to prevent Vigilantism (Vigilantism is never justified or justice). Actual justice, and restitution prevents that just fine.

Rehabilitation has many aspects, and in the case of addiction it would include a medical and psychological treatment for that addiction

There has never been any study that shows tossing a person in a prison with no treatment does anything to solve the underlying issue which just leads to recidivism, in the case of a drunk driver, it is likely they they were caught many many times leading up to their imprisonment, this highlights the failure of the retribution system and where a rehabilitation system would achieve a better outcome
