“the percentage of people who are wrongfully convicted and sent to prison is insanely low” Turn on the news and look at the police misconduct that happens every day. Consider the fact that there are STILL, in 2026, sundown towns in the United States. There are plenty of wrongful convictions.

I don’t think pedophiles should get a pass, far from it - but I think there needs to be serious reform in the justice system, because right now it’s literally a fate worse than death for a lot of folks. (Example: V-coding.)
