Justice System

I think it's terrible how most people in jail get treated like they are guilty when they didn't even have their court date yet to prove if they were actually guilty or not. While most are in jail to serve time because of wrong doings so may not be. People choices in life all go back to the environment that they were brought up in or friends they are influenced by. It's so sad to think that 66% of people who were in jail at one point go back after their release. Most want to change their lives around as seen in the movie but it obviously isn't as easy as it may seem for prisoners. Personally learning about the justice system is really interesting to me because i want to go into criminal justice for my profession. I know this lady that is a lawyer, but has a really good friend who is a criminal investigator and she told me that her and her friend have been working on this guy Juan's case for a while. They believe that he is innocent and did not commit the crime he was accused of. He has been in jail for 18 years and she told me it's really sad to see him because she is almost 100% sure he did not commit this crime, and that he is such a great person! Yes, most people in jail are probably guilty but there are those who are convicted of a crime they did not do and it's scary that the bad person can still be out there. I think it's horrible how some police in jail tend to judge inmates that "look" like criminals when sometimes a few of them can actually be innocent.
