If I remember correctly, didn’t Ann Coulter say on the view, that stistically there is not a higher percentage of minorities in the prison population if you account for single parenting. IIRC she said that there may be a greater percentage of black/hispanics than whites, but when you accounted for single parent homes, that the number fell in line. I don’t know the exact phrase, but, I remember reading it on FR. Also, the police state targets those with the least ability to form a defense. You must remember that the conviction rate is considerably higher for minorities than whites. I can guarantee it’s not because they always get the right person when they’re a minority, and mess up on the whites. It’s because the minorities are easier targets for the racket. (Not that there isn’t a propensity to commit a larger percentage of prosecuted crimes, I addressed that above, but I would say that they are much more likely to go to prison innocently than an anglo, because financially speaking, they cannot form an adequate defense).

On another note:

Recently (here locally), there was a woman released from prison after 16 years, because she was wrongfully convicted of murder. The coroner testified (in the exoneration hearing), that police had approached him, and asked him to broaden the time that he said the victim had died. The police had no leads, and just wanted the matter closed. Several witnesses had stated that they had seen the man alive in a restaurant several hours after the police said he was dead (because it was the only time that the woman, who was framed, had no alibi). In the exoneration hearing, the state prosecution said that this could not be considered “new evidence” because they had known that the witnesses said that the man was alive, but had surpressed it from the jurors the first time around.

After the exoneration trial found her innocent the Attorney General wanted to appeal the case because he said that it would set a precedent for other people to get new trials. I have to wonder how many men and women have been political prisoners for the police state racket’s gain.

That having been said, we do need a reform to the criminal (non)justice system. Some whacko got the idea that everyone needs to be locked up. Well, it’s not true. Nor does everyone need to die. In fact, many people have been found wrongfully convicted now that we have DNA testing. So, I’d want to weed out the corruption before I would go so far as to start killing prisoners just to make room. Then, I’d be amenable to sentences that allowed for people to work off/recompense their debt (obviously you cannot pay back something like a rape, murder, etc.). This is a big issue, b ut it’s important to understand that there is no less corruption in the courts than there are in the legislature and executive branch. They are all corrupt, and are all using us to make money.
