Should there be free lawyers for criminals?

Criminals NO
Innocents Victims YES
So, now how do we tell the 2 apart?
Personally, if found guilty I think they should be required to pay the system (and victims) back before those cigarettes & chocolates at the commersary.
AND NO FREE COLLEGE courses, color TV, pool tables and workout rooms. ETC....
Cot , 3 squares, a blankie and stripes PERIOD!

an similar position the position you would come across a free plumer, dentist, painter, etc. Fantasyland. you're entitled to a public defender for criminal prices, yet no longer till you're easily charged or arrested. in case you want a legal professional with you for a pre-arrest interrogation or questioning, you'll want to employ one. legal professionals do no longer paintings for free basically because you do not prefer to pay. No legal professional will paintings professional-bono to accompany you to a police questioning.

well everyone has the rights to have a lawyer for purposes of something but for those who are not fortunate enough to afford one then why not offer that particular service for free.

If they can't afford one, yes. See the 6th Amendment and the Supreme Court decision Gideon v. Wainwright.

Only if they can't afford them. Everyone, regardless of wealth or social stature, has the right to legal representation.

Everyone should have access to counsel. Remember innocent until proven guilty? Let's hope you never need one because you obviously don't think you would deserve one.
