The cheapest and best bet is to put him in a program.  Give him a choice between that and picking up roadside trash for a year.  Undoubtedly he is a complete jerk, but electroconvulsive therapy probably is illegal.  Taking away his freedom is the stick, a program is the carrot.  It's either carrot, or stick.

You know, I get sick of guys like that, passive aggressive guys who shrug off everything and keep on screwing up.  They cost society a lot, and we can't just take them out to a cornfield, shoot them, and plow them under, because we are a nation of civilized people, in which everyone has to be responsible and not be passive-aggressive jerks.  But some people don't get the message, so the cheapest solution is the best.
