Too many (usually white) americans think people in prison deserve - TopicsExpress



          

Too many (usually white) americans think people in prison deserve what they get, forgetting that a.) the likelyhood of being convicted of any crime is exponentially greater if you are not white, b.) that in even the most heinous crimes, where people recieved death sentences, DNA evidence has acquitted them years later...extrapolate that out to all the "lesser" crimes with no DNA evidence to check, how many in prison really are innocent, and c.) there is a concept of "just" punishment that may be impossible in our prison system. When is widespread rape a "just punishment", for example?
