Cops the TV show. This particular episode depicts the Albuquerque Police Department Vice unit executing a prostitution sting. Everyone of the three prostitutes they arrested knew most of the 10+ officers by name. One prostitute said this would be her 53rd time being arrested for prostitution. The last segment was a vice officer remarking "she'll be right back out here when she gets out of jail, I know she will."
I can't help but ask what is the point? Is there no better example of a failed correctional system? When veteran police officers have no issue admitting on national television that the system does not correct criminal behavior. How could we better help our fellow citizens and help our communities as well? The more you look at America's judicial branch, the more flaws you see but no one is advocating reform to the degree it so apparently needs. This raises the most troubling question, why not?
