None of this is enough if no one goes to prison! If you’re poor in America you go to jail but if you’re rich enough you’re more likely to be able to “make a settlement.” Hundreds of thousands of people died because of this; it needs to be punished by far more than a big write-off

More than 90% of convictions come from negotiated pleas, which means less than 10% of criminal cases end up in trials. We don't have a fair system at all.

Just a reminder- there are ppl sitting in jail right now bc they can't pay hundreds of dollars in fines for minor traffic offenses. In America, ppl lose their jobs and homes bc they forgot to wear a seatbelt or renew their car tag on time.
