What percentage of people locked up in prison do you think deserve to be there? Not just guilty vs innocent, but fair sentencing, etc.

No justice system is perfect, but ours is pretty damn close to as good as it gets in terms of trials and such. I’d say somewhere in the 70-80% range? I can be convinced otherwise, just spitballing.

I'd guess 1/3. The more minor crimes could do with more creative punishments and the most severe could do with more corporal punishments.

The political split at one hour in on this poll is wild!

I’ve spent many hours in prisons (HEY! Don’t get ahead of me here!) repairing equipment and talking to prisoners, everything from maximum security on down. Everyone I met was innocent.😲 Some few would tell me so with a smile.😇 Are some there unjustly? Well,people are people after all. My guess is that the most popular response is correct.
