I don't think her problem was that DUIs were being plead out...I think her problem was with the terms of the plea. The full article said that DUI offenders were being plead out to minor traffic violations, so in order to curb that, she's saying no pleas. I obviously can't say for sure, but I think once things get more "under control" she might be willing to start offering pleas that actually fit the crime.
Also, there are alternative punishments for DUIs that don't crowd jails - such as community service, extended counseling/rehab hours, fines, etc. And I believe, in most states, that 1st time DUI offenders rarely are sentenced to jail.
