For a country that usually is looked up to as a leader on issues, we sure have a piece of sh!t for a criminal justice system.

I think a lot of it has to do with career-building prosecutors and judges, mandatory sentencing, and for-profit prisons.

Whatever it boils down to, there is little justice, and little rehabilitation going on in our "system".
