innocent people over the years have been run through our Prison Industrial Complex. I would wager that tens if not hundreds of thousands are behind bars in our country that are innocent. I do know our sentences are cruel and unusual compared to other so called civilized countries. After all where would they work. It is a way to hide a false economy. They sent the jobs overseas, so we need people off the streets and out of sight. Preferably non-violent marijuana users.

I hate an injustice.

This is the worst sort of injustice.

These injustices damage not only the life of the convicted but also damages the lives of their loved ones—forever. The damage is multi generational. It damages the cops and judges that have compromised their integrity. It reverberates throughout society.

This is the very worst kind of crime. It is the kind of crime that should be punished to the maximum degree possible.
