Sedgwick County Drunk Driver Sentences Fail To Deter
In Wichita and Sedgwick County court records 174 drunk drivers were convicted this year but jail sentences lack swift certainty. Those with 48 hour first offenses face waiting lists due to space limits, with bookings on March 29 1990 for 48 hours and April 9 1990 for five day terms. One fourth of jail cells hold convicted drunk drivers. The state’s deterrent effect remains weak.

Sgt. Kenneth Nichols of the 1st Battalion 127th Field Artillery outlines how the National Guard has transformed. Guardsmen now train as if ready to be called tomorrow, making up 49 percent of the army and 60 percent of its artillery strength with the 35th Infantry Division backing units in Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado. The Guard emphasizes higher education and tech gear, including computers on artillery pieces, and offers a GI Bill providing up to 38000 dollars for college. Recruitment lags in Ottawa area, unit at 91 percent strength, with annual local wages around 950000 dollars. The Guard is redefining itself as citizen soldiers since 1636.
