    Honestly not that big a deal.

    I bet it was to the kids he unjustly imprisoned and their families.

    Our incarceration goals should be to reintegrate people into society not just to put unsavory people in time out.

    Funny how that goal is only met for rich connected scumbags.

      Would 4 more years of house arrest resolve that?

      Yep, that’s a systemic problem. The solution to that is not to regress to a worse outcome for all cases but to advocate for a better outcome for all cases.

        Would this judge be likely to rule “yes”?

        But stop as soon as the rich fuckwits get theirs, like always.

          Obviously not. Why would I stop advocating for prison reform when the work isn’t done? What did I say that gave the impression I was fine ignoring something I explicitly said was a systemic problem that required advocacy for all cases?

            Any effort to reform the system that starts with rich assholes will end with rich assholes.

            And let’s not pretend this is an effort to reform the system.
