That's a very serious situation and very scary indeed. We know damn well innocent men have gone to the gallows.
A damn good reason Canada doesn't have the death penalty.

Just a few innocent men wrongfully jailed for crimes they did not commit.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., statistics indicate 20,000 or more innocent people are being held in prison.
In an age when freedom is fast becoming the exception rather than the rule, imprisoning Americans in private prisons run by mega-corporations has turned into a cash cow for big business. At one time, the American penal system operated under the idea that dangerous criminals needed to be put under lock and key in order to protect society. Today, as states attempt to save money by outsourcing prisons to private corporations, the flawed yet retributive American “system of justice” is being replaced by an even more flawed and insidious form of mass punishment based upon profit and expediency.
