Read the excerpts from "Wrongful Convictions” by Jon Gould and Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. The authors are discussing changing the justice system.
"Wrongful Convictions”
We are seeing a number of police departments and prosecutors take interest in these issues and really try to prevent them.
Just Mercy
The closer we get to mass incarceration and extreme levels of punishment, the more I believe it’s necessary to recognize that we all need mercy, we all need justice, and—perhaps—we all need some measure of unmerited grace.
Based on the tone of both excerpts, what can logically be concluded about the authors’ beliefs about justice system reform?
They believe that the criminal justice system is not involved in reform.
They believe that the criminal justice system must be invested in reform.
They believe that everyone has a role in making a change to the criminal justice system.
They believe that forgiveness is important for change in the criminal justice system to occur.
