Excellent piece @calaber24p, the lack of fairness in our justice system so often doesn't match the intention of it. I think about this in terms of the often non-existent sentences for convicted rapists too. I'd also like to agree with @wakeupsheeps about the dangers of privatizing prisions...it's a terrible idea on every level and there is even less incentive for a private system to help prisoners get the help they need to exit nor address fairness or human rights.
