    “They deserve that because they’re criminals.”

    I’ll just ignore the fact that you believe criminals don’t deserve basic human rights and ask if you really believe innocent people don’t go to jail. Do you actually think the police you watch mess up daily never make mistakes?

        Perfect observation! The criminal justice system is chock full of folks with mens rea, cops, judges, most of the staff in most of the jails… Good point!
