Alternative to prisons

[Alaskana]

In the case of your friend, and many cases of the innocent jailed by the screwed up system, there is still some recourse. She recanted. He could have the record expunged and wiped. Personally, if I did time and was innocent I'd go after the person with every legal option at hand.

Point being though, some criminals have learned. Others don't. Some don't deserve. The system needs to be fixed before we can decide who and how to handle this.
