: TalkLeftHow to Change the Justice Department
By TChris
If Barack Obama and Eric Holder really believe in change, they should change the Justice Department's reliance on assembly line justice. To obtain quick guilty pleas from immigrants who have entered the country illegally, federal prosecutors threaten felony convictions if the immigrants fail to enter prompt guilty pleas to misdemeanor charges.
Every day, of the 1,000 migrants apprehended by immigration agents in Arizona, 70 are "randomly" selected and processed like cattle through Tucson's federal court. The objective is to criminalize these migrants and have them spend time in the private Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), thereby serving as a disincentive for other would-be migrants.
Eliminating reliance on private prisons is another change the new administration should implement. CCA "receives $11 million per month from the federal government." That's $11 million that could be spend on something more productive than warehousing poor people who enter our country to find work.
