Many fault our criminal justice system and in looking at it objectively it is obvious that it could stand a little fixing in many regards. One problem critics charge and one which cannot be argued is the recidivism rates are astronomically high and they do not help society in solving the issues of crime, in fact just the opposite.
Recently this subject came up in an online think tank when a member stated; "The main conflict, however, arises between two opposing viewpoints which bring up the hard questions, namely, why should we expend funds to help those who have broken the law (seen by many as "rewarding" those who have done wrong) when the many law-abiding citizens do not have the same opportunities given to them? The answer is to afford the same opportunities to law-abiding citizens, if not more, and break down the barriers to successful reintegration of felons.”
