They still don't want to admit to the world that this isn't the best and the fairest and most equal justice system. And that they are guilty of railroading people into jail. They don't want to, or never will, admit these things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It doesn't help to fight crime to put people in prison who are innocent.
With representation there to do the speaking, the guilty are suddenly given the freedom that comes with hiding behind the fact that they never said that - in fact, they never said anything!
We all have the problem of what do you do with the not-guilty-yet in free and democratic societies where you have the presumption of innocence. It's a very difficult problem.
We don't want to put people in jail unless we prove that they knew they were doing something they shouldn't do.
People are entitled to the presumption of innocence.
If you're dealing with criminals, they're not going to want to go to court.
I know what it's like to be ignored, and I think that is the big problem about the prison system: These people are being thrown away. There is no sense of rehabilitation. In some places, they are trying to do things. But, in most cases, it's a holding cell.
Everybody seems to be imprisoned in their own sectarian or political affiliations. They don't seem to be able to rise above these things.
People demand a lot of the justice system and they demand things that it can't deliver.
Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others.
