Corruption of the criminal justice system can be reversed when the parties involve take part in legislation of fixing centuries of systematic oppression. In the year of 2017, the government created the Reverse Mass Incarceration Act. The purpose was to decrease the number of prisoners by allocating money to states who continually diminish their crime rate and prison population (Morial). The government has an overwhelming amount of control of prisons, and with this power that is invested should take a course of action by inflicting new ways of justice. The reversing of incarcerating a mass of prisoners would provide opportunities for prisoners to gain direction with their life and make a future for

Why the prison system is flawed The american prison system is flawed and should be changed because it is very expensive to keep it running the way it is, the prison system is helping gangs grow and it can be fixed it is possible. I believe that it needs to change so that cities will have more tax money to fix other things and the people who don't deserve to get released won't be. The prison system is very expensive for taxpayers because they have to pay to employ the officers, they have to pay for the building, the tools, the food for them to eat, there clothing and bedding.
The Ministry of Justice’s (MOJ) resolution to close old victorian prisons and to build larger ‘Titan’ prisons that could hold more than 2,000 prisoners is up for debate. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling argues for Titan prisons and believes it’s lower-priced to have inmates in a new modern facility than it is to have them in “old and uneconomic” prisons. He believes in ‘modernising’ the estate. It’s supposed to save £63m a year in running super prisons (BBC, 2013). To further understand the role of super prisons, Grayling explores the idea that building them wasn’t just about imprisoning or “incarcerating” all inmates in one location.
Prisoner re-entry also can be stressful and challenging for children. They grow, change and often adopt relationships with new parental/authority figures during a parent’s imprisonment. These parental figures often are indisposed to allow a child re-establish a relationship with their parent upon release, especially on the return of a violent offender because increase the possibility that he will be subjected or exposed to domestic violence. In some cases, due to substance abuse and other factors, incarcerated parents had either not lived with their children or not provided a safe environment for them. Such family conflicts can destabilize already fragile families and leave children confused and torn.

Trial delays cause taxpayers to pay about $5 million dollar for the jails to keep them. Only 28 percent are serving sentences and 72 percent are waiting for their trials. The yearly cost house in Stanislaus jail, 144 defendants awaiting murder trials is about $5.2 million. So having trial delays not only affect suspects but it affects other people as well. Now when it comes to hurting the suspects, it can go many ways.
The Free Dictionary website defines the word justice as “The proper administration of the law; the fair and equitable treatment of all individuals under the law” (Justice, 2008). There is one problem with that definition which is that in today’s society the treatment of individuals cannot necessarily be considered fair and equitable, especially when it comes to policing. The justice system is inherently flawed because of the police and their unlawful actions towards citizens in society and the fact that they are able to get away with it. According to copcrisis.com, in 2014 there were 1,106 Americans killed by police officers, since May 2013 there have been 2,671 Americans killed by police officers and in 2015, so far, there have been 799
The number of women in the prison had grow when the sentencing was set equally among the men and women. The idea was not that strongly like it at first.

Capital punishment which is otherwise called "death penalty" is a lawful procedure where the state sends a passing column detainee to execution as their discipline for a genuine offense submitted. The idea of punishment, its definition, application and justification in the previous century is connected on the reorganizations coming about to nullifying of capital punishments in numerous societies of the world; offenders are turned beneficiaries of rehabilitation in support of reprisal and imprisonment. On Plato’s theory, execution benefits the criminal. Dissimilar to the contradicting backers of capital punishment, death penalty is a relinquishment of the criminal’s renewal and recovery. Instead he drew a similarity amongst treachery and mental
According to theorist John Rawls’s theory of justice, the “first principle” of justice involves the priority of liberty, and the first part of the “second principle” involves process fairness, through demanding that “positions and offices be open to all.” Every human should be afforded access to justice irrespective of social status, race or religion. The main aim of human rights is to preserve human worth and dignity and one should be allowed the right to a court proceeding ,legal representation and even the right to a bail application. A person’s fundamental freedoms are compatible with the Human Rights Act (1998). Bail is an important pre-trial matter and may be defined as the release of a person subject to a duty to surrender to custody
