"If I'm wrong and it's very easy for 100% innocent people to be sent to prison please prove that. If a large number of people in prison are innocent then something needs to be done about that. So please, show me how I'm wrong."
Get your terms right, first of all.
"Prison" is for 1 year and a day. "Jail" is typically for 1 year or less.
Jails are where most rapes occur.
Second, the only "100% innocent" person I have ever heard of is the Christian Messiah, and I believe history records that he had a rather unfortunate experience with the criminal justice system.
For the rest of us, yes, it typically takes some infraction of some kind --- unpaid parking ticket or somesuch --- that creates a warrant and puts you in jail.
And yes, it is typically the nice fat staight-laced accoutant who squeals like a pig in jail for the partking ticket who is too often the victim of rape by real criminals.
Is homosexual sodomy the appropriate punishment for having a ticket check lost in the mail? In your world, I guess so.
If you click the link at the top of this thread and read it states: For several reasons, the primary focus of this report is on sexual abuse in prisons, rather than jails.
The HRW that is the topic of the thread does not focus on jails. It appears the term I used applies.
