Look at this: What Happens in the 24 Hours After Arrest? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z029hHhRyY0...A visceral portrait of the New Orleans criminal justice system using animation, first-hand accounts, and vivid memories.
Here is some writing of mine:
There are systems we take for granted and one of of them involves criminal justice. Crimes are committed and jail sentences are handed out. But wait. We aren’t wild animals, and how draconian it is to put people in cages.
There is a fundamental distinction among criminals. Some are violent people who will hurt others and must be kept away from civilized society. But, white collar criminals or people who commit crimes of passion, whose hurting days are over, are something else, yet cages it is for people who are not going to harm anyone else. Instead of incarcerating those people, given the expense just to be practical, we could re-do the punishment to make it lives of service to humanity without financial gain for the term of what would have been a prison sentence. Get them making productive contributions. Some people who financially hurt many people are very clever and could be of benefit to the world if all they got to do was serve the whole. Subjecting harmless people to years of torture for them and their families deserves rethinking. revolutionary. The whole culture would get lessons if we treated criminals humanely.
Thank you for your important work!
