Answer 1

I have no feelings for anyone in jail or prison. Only about 1 or 2% of the population are truely innocent of whatever they got arrested for. So, i beliebe it is a mostly fair system that gets the right person most of the time.

Answer 2

It's not that they are sitting there not being tried or convicted. Every individual has a right to a speedy trial. But getting to what you are actually asking. Those inmates that are now being released after doing 15 years for something they didn't do is wrong. VERY WRONG!! I agree with you that there is so much recourse that needs taken for these individuals. But no matter what, there is something lost that can never be gained back and that is time. Time will run forever, and we can never obtain it again. The United States has come a long way in forensics. This is how alot of inmates are being set free, the testing of it. We didn't have this type of science years ago, and as sad as it is, that is why they are where they are. Think about if they didn't bother testing the inmates in the system, would they still be sitting there? Sure, because without the modern way of testing, no one would know they are innocent. the proper testing wasn't available 10 years ago like it is today. Just be grateful we have it and they do test inmates, because those who got life would spend life instead of being set free. Is it still wrong, yes! Can we ever make it right? NO. All that can be done is help them through society because it was someones screw up that put them where they should never have been.

Answer 3

No one is in prison without a trial and conviction. People are in jail awaiting trial if they can not pay the bail or the court judges that they will abscond if released. There has been lots of miscarriage of justice, innocent people being convicted, and lots of murderers getting away with it, i.e. O.J. There is nothing the justice system can do except try to correct mistakes. With the high and still rising crime rate where I live I have a very difficult time feeling sorry for people in jail.

Answer 4

Once does not sit in Prison unless they have already had a trial and have been convicted. One has a right to a speedy trial, and that is certainly not years. Some slip through, but the vast majority are rightly convicted, so I am okay with it.

Answer 5

You seem to be saying that, since the system isn't perfect, it's all a waste of time and should be scrapped. I disagree.

I believe that if the person is a danger to others, they should remain in jail. That person who is charged with the murder of 3 of our University of Delaware students should never have been on the street. They (Newark NJ) should have kept him in jail when they had him there. If you were a judge, would you let him out on bail now? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,292911,00.html

I understand sympathy and compassion, but we need to apply that to victims of crime as well as criminals and suspects. And don't we all have an obligation to protect society?

Answer 6

The Iraq conflict, is an ongoing militia marketing campaign which began on March 20, 2003 with usa-led invasion of Iraq by way of a multinational coalition composed of u . s . and uk troops supported by way of smaller contingents from Australia, Denmark, Poland, and different countries. previous to the conflict, U.S. officers argued that Iraq's possession and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) posed an coming near near risk to risk-free practices. This militia intelligence become supported by way of the U.ok., Russia and Germany gave intelligence tips yet neither shown the claims of WMD in Iraq. The intelligence on the topic of WMD become criticized and weapons inspectors got here across no evidence of WMD. After the invasion, the Iraq Survey team concluded that Iraq had ended its WMD classes in 1991 and had no energetic classes on the time of the invasion. No U.N. mandate for INVASION !

Answer 7

When in College do you finally get to learn about using lower case?

Anyhoo, those people are probably guilty of something and just need to wait their turn. Jails and courts are overcrowded and there's just so much Judge and Court time to go around.

Answer 8

They are there for a reason. If they haven't been convicted YET it's because of the legal process taking it's time. They do that with almost everyone.

Answer 9

College, holy Christ, all caps, poor grammar and spelling. I hope to hell you are in remedial English class. Damn public schools should not be graduating people that are this uneducated.

Answer 10

Imprisonment is a penalty for the offenders and it must stop people to confine their work inside their offices.
