Gov. Inslee signs bill to remove death penalty from Washington state law
I feel like America's big prison problem is rooted on a deeper issue than mismanagement/corruption.<p>The fundamental idea that "retribution" needs to be a component of the criminal justice system is erroneous and the big issue here. As long as the country legally recognizes that those who wronged others need to be wronged to "get their just desserts", the prison system will not reform to a sufficient degree as to stop the excessive incarceration and recidivism problem.
