America spends more money to incarcerate than they do to educate. Right now the people who are least culpable of committing a crime are the ones doing the most time. Drug addicts are doing more time than their supplier instead of being in rehab to help them kick their addiction. Murderers, rapists, child abusers, and robbers are doing less time than first time nonviolent drug offenders. Because of the mandatory minimum sentencing people who have never been in any type of trouble are serving long prison sentences for non-violent crimes that they themselves did not actually commit.
Society needs to get a vision of what is going on in the criminal justice system.
It does not matter what your station in life is, or how much money you have acquired. Nobody is immune to crime. It can touch every social class.
