The Outrage of Unequal Justice

You can pay $75.00 a day to avoid the hardships of prison: "Critics charge that pay to stay is a glaring example of the unequal distribution of justice in this country.

'It symbolizes the two-tiered system we have in this country for poor defendants and the well-to-do,' said Paul Wright, editor of Prison Legal News magazine, which is an advocate for inmates. 'The poor are just as deserving but can't afford to participate. This makes a mockery of the notion of equal justice under the law.' "

This is so disgusting that some folks might be tempted to say, "Plug America's windpipe until it stops wiggling."
