So, I'm learning a lot from today's #TwitterThon with @JoshuaBHoe asking the President to commute the sentences of the 4,500 people who were safely released--pre-screened--and who have been living without incident at home for over a year. A thread.
I have thought a lot about what this system does to the people in it. After all, I have worked in it--in various roles--for about 10 years. And so when I think of accused people, I don't think of "offenders," but rather of very real people I know well and care about deeply.
So the group of people who we could classify as system users--the accused--are as varied a group as any group of humans. Some have caused harm. Many haven't. Few have caused as much harm as they're accused of. And all are actively being harmed, to extreme degrees, by our system.
