Could it be that saving our cities also includes increasing the number of public defenders to fight the impoverishment of justice?
Returning balance to our democracy and emptying our prisons and jails to return function to our country/society means more than simply preaching and setting examples. It means bringing sincere justice ro the innocent.
"Gideon's Army" makes it very clear even many Civil Rights Leaders were facilitated by Public Defenders. There are victories by Public Defenders. Those victories return function to our society and end 'the angry young man' syndrome.
Imagine being in prison unjustly. It is unthinkable, but, it happens all the time. Those that plea bargain out of fear are also relinquishing the right to vote, attend higher education and move into upward mobility. A lot is on the line and our country suffers for their suffering. We lose assets, safer communities while defeating parallel economies such as the drug economy.
Innocent Americans don't belong in prison.
