The Impact of Incarceration

In the United States, a staggering quarter of the world's prisoners are held in the country, reflecting a deeply flawed justice system. One individual's story highlights this issue, as he was wrongfully convicted for an attempted murder he did not commit and sentenced to 65 years in prison. This severe punishment came as a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, which illustrates the harsh realities that many individuals face within the criminal justice system. The emotional toll and years lost due to injustices like this underscore the urgent need for reform and accountability within the system.
