We tend to abuse our offenders in the prosecution and plea bargain phase and further abuse them in the jail or prison phase. Our prosecutors are almost criminal, with no culpability for lying, withholding evidence, or threats during processing. We commonly use fishing to target offenders, and may create laws for justice processing, when only admirative laws exist. Our property confiscation rules are criminal. Our sentences rules are an abomination. In our prisons, we are still arguing between rehabilitation and punishment. In jail, NO rehabilitation occurs except Bible Studies and some education. The rest of the time is idle, with gang rivalries and conflicts having precedence.

The Germans handle prisons better than we do; their prisons are more humane and their sentencing more realistic. I also like what I see of the sex offender management and philosophies of the German system. They put a premium on citizenship, privacy, and individual responsibility. Our sexual offender management system is awful, using special interest for income, creating unnecessary federal systems, intimidating foreign governments to accost US citizens abroad. We want to punish our sex offender boogymen for as long as possible.

Since we have a decentralized system, there is no central figure to bring our criminal justice system together for reform. We trample our constitutional freedoms in the false name of justice.

From the ashes, the Phoenix was reborn!

We may have burned, but never say you were broken, for every fall carries the seed of a great rise.

Become a better version. That will set your soul free and no one, no registry, no public opinion can take that unless you surrender it.

We are locked in a struggle we wish had not to happen. Arm yourself with inner strength. Be aware that the label can become a reality in your mind. Do not let it. Show the word they are wrong.

More importantly live that way. Everyone, and mostly you, will be better for it.
