Man Gets Up to 11 Years for 9th, 10th DUIs
posted 07/09/09

Fifty-four-year-old John Joseph, of McKeesport, was saying he was trying to turn his life around when Allegheny County Judge David Cashman interrupted Joseph Wednesday, saying, "You had 10 chances."
Joseph's attorney says he'll appeal because Cashman gave Joseph consecutive sentences meaning he'll spend 5½ to 11 years in prison, instead of concurrent sentences.
Joseph was arrested twice last year in Glassport. He was drunk during a traffic stop in March and refused a blood-alcohol test - resulting in the drunken driving charge - when he ran a stop sign in June.

prisoners have rights too and some of the luxuries you are talking about keep peace. Taking away pillows, get real. Not everyone in jail is a hardened criminal. Some are even in for bogus charges too.
