AT LONG LAST, WE’RE HAVING A CONVERSATION ON WHAT AILS THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. RIGHT WRONG ISN’T THE POINT.

WHAT IS, IS THAT A SYSTEM ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE PENAL AND CORRECTIVE HAS GONE AWRY IN SO MANY WAYS, THAT IT IS NOW, IN MY OPINION DESTRUCTIVE OF SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. WHERE THERE USED TO BE LIGHT AT THE END OF A TUNNEL OF PENITENCE AND REPENT, LEAVES A BLACK MARK ON SOCIETY’S UTTER FAILURES TO UNDERSTAND THE SOURCES OF CONFLICT AND COMPOUNDS IT BY CREATING EVEN MORE DEVASTATING LAWS THAT HAS NO END IN SIGHT OF CYCLES OF REPETITION ON EVEN WORST HIGHER SCALES.

THE ONES THAT SUFFER THE MOST ARE THE VERY ONES WHO CAN LEAST AFFORD TO BREAK INSANE LAWS THAT BENEFIT ONLY A FEW THAT DOMINATES THE MANY.

CANADA WOULD WELL PAY HEED TO THE INSANITY OF TOTAL POWER – IT NOT ONLY CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY, IT BECOMES THE SOURCE OF ALL MISERY, NO MATTER YOUR PLACE ON THIS PLANET OR UNIVERSE FOR THAT MATTER, EVEN AFTER YOUR DEPARTURE.

PENAL REFORM IS A MUST, NOT A LUXURY ANYMORE. EVERYTHING MUST BE LOOKED AT IN A NEW LIGHT.
