Look, I understand why prosecutors feel the way they do, they generally only see the worst moments of every single person they prosecute...and then they only see them again if they fail....deep cynicism is a logical and likely outcome

However, despite this, it is just not true that they are "experts" in criminal justice. They are experts in convicting people for crimes. They are not experts inn criminology, or reentry, or really anything aside from convicting people for crimes....not meant with disrespect

It is just crazy how much power prosecutors have - they get 90% of criminal justice resources, they are barely subject to election, even judges are loathe to cross them for fear that the area prosecutors associations will come out against them in the next election

They have all of the leverage, the lion's share of the resources, a system designed to allow them to force plea bargains in well-over 90% of cases, judges won't fight, they rarely face electoral opposition, and they even get reight of refusal on legislation
