Our Criminal "Justice" system is beyond appalling.

Coronavirus in prison. Containing the virus will be a daunting challenge for prisons and jails, which house a disproportionate share of the sick and elderly, at highest risk from the epidemic.

Hand sanitizers are forbidden because they contain alcohol. People on work detail can’t easily wash their hands.

The gender gap in prison discipline is real and significant.

Women in prison are given disproportionately longer punishments for infractions committed while behind bars, a new federal study concludes. Female prisoners are more likely to be punished for nonviolent offenses, like disobeying or talking back to corrections officials, and kept at facilities far from their families.
