With only general guidelines, all US jails are ground zero for the ethical breaches that permeate the criminal justice system.
The nightmare of dealing with the criminal justice system begins in jail.
It is a fact that inmates who see no hope in their case hope to be sent to prison just to escape the nightmare of jail.
Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law...unless you are poor, racially marked, indigent or have no one to advocate for you.
JAIL
America's Dirty Secret
WHY THE JAIL STORY
IS SO IMPORTANT
there is a need
Understanding the importance of how ethical abuse in jails is critical on a broad scale to how we change the entire criminal justice system.
The first order of business is to change the bail bond system that separates the poor from the privileged. This is blatantly unconstitutional; it creates a burden on families and forces those whose who may be innocent to be treated as a criminal without their due process.
Jail is ground zero for the unethical and inhumane treatment that foreshadows the massive failure of our criminal justice system, and it only gets worse.
We need facts. Every community should know how their jail system is being executed and what procedures breach ethical behavior.
Without full transparency every jail director has carte blanche on how they operate... families are compromised and lives are ruined unnecessarily ...all of society suffers when we do nothing about it.
