In what ways do you think your background and experiences have shaped your views on the justice system?

I have seen what the worst of humanity has to offer society when left unchecked and the decriminalization of violent and dangerous crime, open door prison systems and the failure of the justice system to rehabilitate offenders when they sentence criminals. The justice system instead creates worse offenders when it releases them back into a world where they have no other options for prosperity but to return to prison or a life of crime on the streets.
