i am not necessarily saying they all should. i am saying, i am sure they all do so why should Clarett be any different. and i sure don't see clarett getting a bad break here on his felony, he was doing some pretty crazy shit. it isn't like he was at the wrong place at the wrong time or something. he was about to start a gang war or something. and he took police on a pretty crazy chase.
now if it was someone in your instance where someone got a unlucky break and spent some jail time, i don't think they deserve that harshness AT ALL. but chances are they are going to get it, clarrett broke several laws so, HE deserves it without a doubt. imo
