I started watching The Innocent Man on Netflix and I’ve been sucked into a vortex watching a documentary on 2 murder cases in OK where the men were actually innocent.
@BarkingSquirrel a system where prosecutors are promoted based on convictions, and a country has a for profit prison system (still blows my mind that prisons are private businesses down there), guarantees justice is the last thing that system is looking for.
@BarkingSquirrel Don't do a deep dive into wrongful and EXTREME sentences to Black folks (U.S. especially)... Slavery never disappeared, it just became overzealous prosecutions and envelopes of cash exchanging hands.
@NapsAndSarcasm OMG so true! Longer sentences and the lack of proper representation. The system gives rich people every benefit of the doubt.
@NapsAndSarcasm It’s very scary to think how many people are wrongly incarcerated.
