The entire system needs massive reform. We need a system that focuses on rehabilitation rather than punitive actions.

Our current system does not provide fair and speedy trial as dictated by the sixth amendment.

Our prisons create worse people and have some of the highest recidivism in the developed world, so clearly it's not working.

44% go back to prison in the first year of release. And then we just blow even more money. The financially smart thing is to try to reduce recidivism by actually helping the prisoners. Less wasted taxes and less victims.
