Maybe, but there are a few people in prison that don't belong there. Our justice system is nowhere near perfect. Lots of mistakes. How would you separate the truly guilty ones from the innocent? We are not gods who deal perfect justice.

You can't, but you can get real close. That is the system we have, and yes there will be a few out of the several hundreds of thousands that are prison now. It is the best system there is, and the deterent should be in the penalties (which for the most part are a joke now). I feel like if you can't keep from commiting a felony for the 3rd time perhaps it's time for life in prison. Hard labor, because if you haven't learned by then, you just aren't going to.
And yes prisoners have rights, but after a 3rd unsecessful appeal they should get the same rights they gave their victims.
