when things escalate to a false _conviction_
some shit has gone down.
Keep in mind that that the numbers only focus on cases they are looking at.
When DNA testing became available, there was a slew of exonerations. At the same time feminists were trying to combat the granting of later DNA testing.
If you do not think THAT is evil, your moral compass is not working.
The report here breaks down the prison population by the crimes they committed (which is under the jail system they are in).
that infographic is pretty confusing
they have the same categories split up among slices
which is fair enough, but still a bit of a mess
This article does not mention rape or sexual assault once.
What point do you want to make?
Looking at sexual assault/rape, the numbers (if they are to be taken as truth) lists the number of people convicted at over 160,000.

America has altogether too many laws.
I am happy to see that women are catching up to men in something.
for example rape rates per 100 000
blacks rape 12,59
and whites 5,06
Wow, all that baby bashing and student diddling really boosted their numbers.
Go, women!
Stunning and brave.
Too bad feminists are calling for the end of all incarceration for women, though.
I'm really glad we have an impartial justice system.
Try not to confuse the system with the people in it.
But if left too long, those people will poison the system.
How long? Is 50 years enough?
@Ace K You know, looking at one of those charts, it seems that women are joining the prisonforce
Will half a century do?
Because that's how long they've been at this.
And if we keep acting as if it's all not a big deal, they'll be at it for another 50 years.
You do make a good argument for term limits on positions like Judges though.
Don't say I haven't been raving and ranting about this.
Are you guys ready for some more Salem Witch Trials? Because that is how you get Salem Witch Trials.
Identifying a problem is a small step towards making a lasting solution.
But that lasting solution takes a lot more work.
Yes, but from the way it sounds, we're not even done with the first step.
@Malt_Hitman Does he? That seems like it would accelerate the problem.
Are you saying you think term limits on Judges would make the problem worse?
@Undead Mockingbird The judge pictured arguably should not be sitting there.
Yes ...
