Incredible amount of corrrr-rupture happening is what it is. It’s crime in itself to the highest degrees when communities continue to face the issues it’s been dragging- and for decades! Lovely lot of delinquents getting richer by each head added to the system, while those heads have their records and lives disrupted and destroyed. No shame whatsoever!

Thank you for the insightful articles keeping us abreast of this ongoing situation. Much appreciated.

With you shining lights on our justice system and what goes on in prisons, here's something to advocate for. Although we aren’t wild animals, when we misbehave we are put in cages. So it has been since humanity settled down after hunter gathering. We should rethink that now.

There is a fundamental distinction among criminals. The ones with wild animal vestiges do need to be kept from hurting others. But, white collar criminals, and people who commit crimes of passion, and others whose hurting days are over are something else, yet it's cages for them, too. We don't even think about it, and we should. Even just to be practical, given the expense to society for someone in prison, we could sentence harmless people to service to humanity, without financial gain. Get people to be productive instead of vegetative, where they are an asset to society and not a drain on it. Imprisoning harmless people is akin to torturing them and deserves rethinking.

Our violent proclivities are being served over our humanitarian ones, and a leap society needs to take into becoming a cooperative world could be inspired by a radical change in our criminal justice system. Beth, how about getting behind that idea?
