[Trailer Park Boys] How do the boys get such short jail sentences?
gpt
They generally don't commit any serious crimes (no rape, murder, violent crimes), and in the instances they do something way over the line, like the shootout with Cyrus' gang, they are able to deflect blame and not get charged with anything. 

Drug laws in Canada come with pretty minimal prison time, and The Boys seem to be well-liked and somewhat well-behaved while there; Ricky remarks on multiple occasions that he likes jail, and would prefer to be there in some instances. Their sentences are probably commuted because in reality, they really aren't much of a threat to anyone but themselves.
