Ok, first off, this doc had some very helpful and truthful information. The problem is that the dialogue that these ACTORS were reciting (repeating a script they were given to read) left out the full truth and/or exaggerated the truth and/or embellished personal experiences to sound like they are the norm.
Secondly, most of the unconstitutional issues that are actually throughout the prison system are NOT the ultimate responsibility of the police force on the streets. Or, for that matter, the ultimate responsibility of the prison guard. ThE buck stops with the local politicians of that city if it's a city jail, or the state politicians of that state if it's a state prison, or the federal government if it's a federal prison or penitentiary. AND the same for the local police and county sherriff officers patrolling the streets AS WELL AS the District Attorney's office, Public Defenders Office and any prejudice/unfair/crooked judges.
Thirdly, in our current corrupt political environment here in the US (and most banana republics), everyone knows that if you conduct yourself in an unethical, nefarious or unscrupulous manor while executing your position within any branch of the DOJ, it is very rare that there will be any accountability. ESPECIALLY if you hold that position because of who you know, who you are related to or who you can blackmail if your job is threatened.
Fourthly, the truth of the statistics regard the percentage of US citizens rightly or wrongly incarcerated are high compared to other countries. HOWEVER, in many other countries (communist for instance) they would rather execute "guilty law breakers" rather then build more prisons. In some major countries citizens accused of a crime are not entitled to a speedy trial and can wait years for their case to be heard. And in many 3rd world countries the army is police, judge and jury.
Yes, the US has issues, but they are made worse by corrupt politicians, gangs from other countries that we are feeding and clothing instead of exporting to their own country and not allowing to return. It would also be a great improvement if the politicians would stop using our tax dollars for vacations, homes, cars and big banks balances but rather use our tax dollars for making common sense laws that require a better and longer education for local law keepers.
