A businessman who worked in the dry-cleaning business for almost three decades received a jail sentence for repeatedly breaching environmental protection laws related to the improper storage of a cancer-causing agent called perchloroethylene used in the dry-cleaning process. His operation did not follow rules requiring the chemical, as well as its waste water and residue, to be stored in a closed container. The businessman’s lawyer said that his client was embarrassed by the infraction but simply got too busy to supervise this aspect of operations. Do you agree with a law that can send an individual to jail even though there is no proof that anyone fell ill from the infraction and no proof that the individual intentionally disregarded the law?
