    “Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it’s set a rolling it must increase (Charles Caleb Colton).” Colton describes that once corruption has begun, it is difficult to stop. Corruption has existed in this country, let alone this very planet, since the beginning of time. With corruption involves: money, power, and favoritism. Many people argue today that racism is still a major problem to overcome in today’s legal system. American author (and local Chicago resident) Steve Bogira jumps into the center of the United States justice system and tells the story of what happens in a typical year for the Cook Country Criminal Courthouse, which has been noted as one of the most hectic and busiest felony courthouses in the entire country. After getting permission from one of the courthouse judges’ (Judge Locallo) he was allowed to venture in and get eyewitness accounts of what the American Legal System is and how it operates. Not only did he get access to the courtroom but: Locallo’s chambers, staff, even his own home. In this book we get to read first hand account of how America handles issues like: how money and power play in the court, the favoritism towards certain ethnic groups, and the façade that has to be put on by both the defendants and Cook County Workers,

  • Justice In The Hurricane Carter

    616 Words  | 2 Pages

    Carter needs exceptional assistance to become a productive member of the community. State funds will aid with his reintegration into life outside of prison. Success outside of prison will be challenging, especially due to his notoriety. The community around him needs to share in the assimilation process through an assurance of its service and time. The benefit of restorative justice applied to Carter is that there is no energy wasted on condemning those working in the judicial system. Moreover, the key to success in using restorative justice for Carter is the State’s guarantee to satisfy Carter’s needs. Restorative justice for Carter is also the correct thing to do for the community. It can help restore faith in the judicial system. Restorative justice requires moral leadership with the resolve to do the right thing—a difficult proposition based our judicial history—but a worthy
