We need to notice and be aware of the injustices embedded in our criminal system.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.
We must be vigilant in our actions towards criminals, and innovative in our approach towards solving crime.
Our laws are too lax, our justice system too weak - particularly when it comes to violent, dangerous offenders.
Almost one in three Americans has had some contact with the criminal justice system. When you reach that saturation point, people begin to understand, in a very visceral way, the difficulties of reentry.
I've definitely become more aware of the penal system and more aware of what life could be like inside a prison.
America's criminal justice system isn't known for rehabilitation. I'm not sure that, as a society, we are even interested in that concept anymore.
I can appreciate that on one side, but we have to remember that the system is designed corruptly, and works against us, so you cant convict those who can benefit from the system, because its not neccesarily their fault.
It is time to go on the offense. Hold people accountable for the wrongdoings they do and commit against the American people, use the vestiges of the Constitution which gives us the outline of how we hold them accountable and make the Justice Department do their job.
We need criminals to identify ourselves with, to secretly envy and to stoutly punish. They do for us the forbidden, illegal things we wish to do.
The purpose of the criminal justice system is both to rehabilitate and to punish. If we can rehabilitate somebody, that's a huge, huge win.
