The system is, and always has been, a tool for control. The whole legal system feels like it's run more on money than justice. This is exactly why I decided not to pursue a law career. And now that money is a system that is falling apart, the financial aspect of the prison system is going to get hit hard. Yes, this is a huge issue, and yes it exposes a lot of bad practices and vague laws that should be re-addressed if we are going to make moves in the right direction.
Is that better?
