My heart is bursting. On the eve of my first child's birth, my dad - who's been in prison nearly my entire life - was granted clemency. He never intended harm, yet his crime devastated many families. My heart breaks for the families that can never get their loved ones back.

Why should you be able to see your dad if those sons and daughters of those who died in the commission of a crime he was involved with dont ever get to see theirs? Can you actually give a good answer to those families? This is what justice should have been but is now been undone

The actual answer to your question lies in whether you believe prisons end result is supposed to be for punishment, rehabilitation, or a combination of the 2.

1) protect society from criminals at least during their time in prison. 2) deter future criminals: credible threat of prison prevents some people who might be otherwise tempted 3) punish. So that victims or their families don’t enact revenge on their own. 4) reform

Lol 1) score points for "tough on crime" politicians. 2) create value for private prison investors. 3) destroy communities that could significantly disrupt the status quo if organized 4) punish people mostly for property crimes or low level drug offenses Welcome to America

Continuing with the longstanding tradition of "Felony Murder" being a primarily political charge. This regular abuse of law to persecute positions we disagree with, is a primary reason why felony murder has been recognized as unjust and is no longer used in our legal system.
