Jesus Christ, I couldn't agree more! After spending 4 years in the criminal justice academy, I learned just how many flaws our justice system really has. I can't stand the fact that we have these rapists, murders, and the like sitting on death row being strung along for years and years - meanwhile our government is bitching and moaning about how 'overcrowded our prisons are' while they're locking up white collar criminals all day long. It's ridiculous that all these states have the death penalty, but sit there and wait 30 years before putting it to good use.
