Justice system

Our judicial system is very efficient but not always. Many trails happen each year and for the most part all goes right. Although, in many cases it does not. For example, many times people are wrongly prosecuted and imprisoned for unlawful acts such as rape and murder. They then proceed to spend many years in prison until the charges are dropped, someone confesses the person was not the culprit, or they decide the evidence does not add up. Even then, these people are released back into a world with little or no hope due to having no money or having no experience at all in any work field due to them spending their time rotting in prison. Lastly, to top it all off, the person who wrongfully accused the said person receives no penalty for their wrongful actions. Therefore, even though our judicial system is often praised it is never going to be precise and correct at all times.

To further illustrate my point that our judicial system is not the best, people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty but this truly never upholds. What I mean is that in many cases people are treated as if they were truly guilty even if they are not. Or even worse they are put in jail for the time being even if there is no evidence against them. During a trail the plaintiff is supposed to put forth the evidence that proofs their accusations against the defendant right. Through that evidence a jury is supposed to decide whether or not the defendant is guilty. Unfortunately, often times the final decision is influenced by subjects such as racism, sexism, social class, and more. As one can tell, our judicial system is not the greatest due to many reasons. Which includes prejudice in many forms, not punishing those who prosecute the wrong people, and not imprisoning people over just the hard core evidence that is presented.
