[QUOTE=King Tiger;35134518]So that warrants the U.S. justice system (courts, legal systems, and everything) being called "broken", which would signify that it does not work and is unable to function?[/QUOTE] You asked him to explain how it was broken, so he explains it, then you ask if that's why he thinks it's broken? What.

Britain: America's bitch since forever.

[QUOTE=King Tiger;35134518]So that warrants the U.S. justice system (courts, legal systems, and everything) being called "broken", which would signify that it does not work and is unable to function?[/QUOTE] Yes, it is fundamentally broken, as it is not based around rehabilitation or the wellfare of all, it is based around petty revenge and calling it justice, with inhumane treatment of prisoners and sentances that are abnormally high.

[QUOTE=Dj-J3;35134576]You asked him to explain how it was broken, so he explains it, then you ask if that's why he thinks it's broken? What.[/QUOTE] No, I'm wondering how that makes the Justice System "broken".

[QUOTE=King Tiger;35135399]No, I'm wondering how that makes the Justice System "broken".[/QUOTE] Because it is not just, therefore is a broken justice system. If it worked, it would deliver fair punishments focused around the welfare of all parties. Sure a jail sentance is a punishment and a deterrant, but it also comes with the chance of redemption and education that will allow for you to become a productive member of society afterwards. The whole definition of just is fairness, and a system that abuses human rights and can give out sentances without parole is not just, as it offers no chance for reform, which is the whole point of a modern, effective justice system, as is seen in countries with controlled crime rates such as Sweden or Norway, whilst countries that attempt to deter through extreme brutality and turning a blind eye to rape and assault such as the US prisons are not fair, therefore they are not just, which means the system is broken. Oh yeah, and a significant racist bias in courts is also not fair, ergo not just.
