1.  Woman living in poverty steals a loaf of bread to feed her family
20 hours community service + referal to social services

2.  Robbing a bank
Assuming no harm done to bystanders 5-10 years

3.  Vehicular Manslaughter (unintentional)
This one is extremely vague.  Hitting someone committing suicide by running into traffic - no charge.  Hitting someone while engaging in street racing - 10-20 years.

4.  Vehicular manslaughter (under the influence)
10-30 years, depending on recidivism

5.  Possession of Child Pornography
Referal to court appointed psych for possible indefinite involentary committment.  2-5 years if that is not an option.

6.  Possession of one ounce marijuana
100-200 hours of community service.  Referal to rehab.  3 mo. to 1 year imprisionment if repeat offender.

7.  1st Degree Rape
10-20 years.

8.  1st Degree Murder
25-life, death penalty with special circumstances.

9.  Possession of illegal firearm
Depends on the firearm and the purpose.  From community service and confiscation for an collector, to 10-15 years for a large stockpile of heavy millitary ordinance.

10.  Treason
Depends.  Fake treason (the stuff right wingers scream everytime someone disagrees with Bush) no penalty.  Real treason (such as knowlingly selling weapons to terrorists, intentionally comprimising national security, or committing a violent act of war against the US - such as the OK city bombing) 20 years to death, depending on severity.

Along the lines of the DUI substring, in my area there have been successful prosecutions of DUI homicide up to second degree murder.  Those may have been specific circumstances (drunk intentionally uses car as a weapon), but I'm an not familar with the details of the cases as they were a few years back.

From a legalistic viewpoint, I would consider the typical dui manslaughter to be manslaughter (volentary) due to gross neglegence, and deserving of a severe penalty.
