Our Criminal Justice System Serves No True Justice

By Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Facebook Page

hree years and four months for lying to Congress, threatening a witness, impeding a federal investigation, and betraying the country. I can’t help but think of Crystal Mason, who was sentenced to five years in prison for mistakenly casting a ballot while on supervised release. Or the Georgia teen with no criminal record, who was sentenced to five years in jail for stealing $100 sneakers. Or the hundreds of thousands of people languishing in prison for low-level drug offenses. Or the hundreds of thousands more who are wasting away in cold jail cells only because they cannot afford bail. Our criminal justice system serves no true justice, only undeserved leniency or cruel punishment. Your thoughts?
