READ THE FOLLOWING:
While these are all legitimate reasons for the current state of American prisons,
this paper argues that plea bargaining is an essential element of both prison growth as
well as the racially disparate state of American prisons. Indeed, it argues that none of the
above reasons could lead to the prison explosion but for the existence of plea bargaining.
Plea bargaining has become ubiquitous as the primary method of criminal case
disposition in the United States. By 1920, it was thought that 88 percent of convictions in
New York were via guilty pleas, up from 22 percent just 80 years earlier (McDonald
1985). Most modern commentators consider the number of cases disposed of through
plea bargains to be around 90 percent (Newman 1966) though it may be higher (Friedman
1993). Indeed, in one misdemeanor court, Feeley (1979) found the rate to be 100
percent. Although nobody knows the exact number, what is known is that for the vast
majority of defendants, the criminal justice system does not involve a jury trial, the
presentation of evidence, or any sort of dramatic courtroom scene. Instead, it involves
bargaining for justice.
THE ONLY TIME THAT YOU ARE FREE IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH. I BELIEVE THEY USE THIS WORDING LOGO- IN GOD WE TRUST- HOW CAN ANYONE TRUST IN GOD AND TEACHING OTHERS TO LIE. THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD IS TRUTH AND LIGHT.
AWAY WITH PLEA BARGIN AND TAKE A FLIGHT TO SPEAKING THE TRUT. IF THE TRUTH CAUSE YOUR LIFE, SPEAK IT IT WITH BOLDNESS.
GOD BLESS YOU. LIVE BLESS.
