"Many time judges won't convict people that should go to jail because the legislative mandated penalty is just way too harsh. Other times they do anyway. Judges hate it. The legislatures bow to political pressure and screw up the whole system. as a result we have a lot of people in jail who shouldn't be and a bunch not in jail who should be." A justice system should, at a minimum, give society the confidence that outcomes are just. What is just then? Just is the perception that crimes are resolved, that individuals and society have been reconciled to a condition of fairness bound in peaceful coexistence. With this societies members are most likely to respect laws and the system that serves to bring justice where breeches occur. With no confidence in the system, we have dysfunction in justice where members lose respect for law from basic traffic to prospering materially. Focusing on the the politics of Justice is losing the forest to save a tree stump.
