Gilberto:
A large number of people in prison are there for non-violent drug related
offenses. If this is really about rehabilitation and compassion,
certain kinds of behaviors would be decriminalized, and people would
be treated more and prosecuted less.

 

Gotta throw in my 2 cents’ worth here.� If anyone thinks that our criminal justice system is about rehabilitation and compassion, I wonder where they’ve been living.� Bah�’u’ll�h states that justice rests on the twin pillars of punishment and reward.� Our system has left half of that equation out, and it is further corrupted by racism and classism.� Clemenceau observed, “Military justice is to Justice as military music is to Music.”� Unfortunately, the same is true of our civilian justice.
