One only has to watch the Discovery Channel and itness the atrocities that occur within American prisons. In newspapers we ead of corrupt DA's who along with the police frame innocent people and institutionalize them, then the prison administrators dehumanize. These figures were based on the amount of time prosecutors and public defenders at the trial courts and the Florida Supreme Court spend on the extra work needed in capital cases. The Supreme Court there spends half its time on death penalty cases. The figure also includes the time and effort expended on defendants who are tried and convicted of a lesser charge and those with death sentences were overturned on appeal as well as those actually executed.
Modern genocide exists within American prisons.
The lawmakers are not obligated to follow the Constitution, the Supremacy Clause, nor any Treaty with other nations. Torture and inhumane action is as much present today as it was in years gone by. Rehabilitation may have existed for a short time, however, when state and federal prison administrators learned that it was working, causing the prison system to lose money, a more and more convicted felons were not returning to prison, which in fact caused a decline in job opportunity for incompetent corrections staff, and job security was at risk. What will it take for our Canadian government to take a stand and cause the United States, both state and federal entities to adhere to the letterof the Transfer Treaty, end the suffring of our people. Corporate America owns the government of the United States.
