“Justice is supposed to mean putting right what is wrong. Justice is meant to help those who cannot, and/or should not help themselves…. But justice is fleeting—there one minute, gone the next. Where you may receive it, the next may not. One man may enter a courtroom and receive five years and the next five months, both for the same crime. Yet if an officer of the law were to be charged, it would likely end in suspension for three months. The poor who can’t afford fast-talking attorneys are left with people who work shoulder-to-shoulder with the prosecution. But everyone is equal. We all deserve justice the same way.” -Richard, an incarcerated CLF member
