a lot of people otherwise correctly concerned with criminal justice reform pretty excited about throwing aunt becky into federal prison for cheating her daughter into a shitty party schoolhttps://twitter.com/AP/status/1296882464875577346 …

Don’t see what’s paradoxical about it. White collar crime and corruption don’t get nearly the punishment they deserve, mostly because the people wear white collars.
the answer to “i think we’re being too hard on nonviolent criminals” is to be less hard on nonviolent criminals, not throw everyone who cheats on an entrance exam into federal prison lol

I don’t really see it as a blanket statement. Others might. But everyone has different perspectives on justice reform I suppose.

The American legal system isn't based on "privilege and power" (thank God) it is based on "equality under the law" ...

One might think we're being too hard on some crimes (for humanitarian reasons, or because harsher penalties have ceased to buy much deterrence) and not hard enough on others (because our sense of what people "deserve" falls short of optimal deterrence).

I don't have a strong opinion on this matter particularly, but I do suspect there are some cases where we're under-punishing from a utilitarian standpoint, while still over-punishing most things.
