Cells in Cells

Science tells us that nearly every cell in our body is replaced every 7 to 10 years. I have a former student who has been incarcerated for 41 years, since he was 17. So, for at least the past 31 years, we have been imprisoning someone who had nothing to do with the crime.

And if you find this argument specious, you should read some of the arguments for keeping him there by so-called criminologists and tell if they are any better. At least mine has proven science to back it up.

I find our “criminal justice system” an abomination, and little I saw during the 20 years I taught in them has changed my mind.
