The problem that the United States faces when it comes to the imprisonment of people is an enormous one, and one that can be understood from many different angles. This problem touches on topics such as the number of people in prison, the excessive sentences given to most criminals, the fact that such an institution is run like a business or the many cases of unjust imprisonment.
Many people have contributed to this, and I believe that an apology is not enough in this case. It is necessary for these people to be proactive when it comes to changing legislation. Laws need to be reviewed, as well as individual cases. When instances of injustice are found, these need to be made public and the person who suffered through them deserves to be compensated. This is the only way in which we could improve the current situation of this system.
