I don't mean this to sound as "1984" as it might, but here goes:
She is obviously sick. There is something wrong with her.
Jail won't fix her, but we do need to protect ourselves from her. (Yes, Jail will temporarily keep her away from us.)
What we need is a place something in-between a Jail and an Asylum, where people like her can be sent for re-education. To learn how to be (or pretend to be) decent members of society, who don't do things like repeat drink driving. To learn more about responsibility instead of just "rights".
People would be made to go there (but perhaps given weekends off or something, like a minimum security prison or something) but more emphasis on (re)education.
If they can't learn - then lock 'em up for good. We shouldn't have to put up with them.
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
