“i went across 25 states looking for a wide range of viewpoints from every level of the criminal justice system. oddly, what i found was a huge number of people inside the system (virtually everyone i talked to) have deep reservations about what they do and the larger implications of the system they are participating in. so it was incredibly inspiring to see a judge, from his chambers, criticize the drug war whose laws have tied his hands and stripped him of the discretion we entrust him with. it was inspiring to see prison officials (jailers and wardens) wearing their uniforms and from the prisons they run, criticize the draconian laws (and the politicians and corporations who profit from them) that they have to enforce. and yes, it was also inspiring in several states across the country to hear law enforcement officers, from the front seats of their patrol cars, lament the laws that they enforce, which arrest the same people week after week, largely nonviolent, who aren’t a threat to society, but whose lives they see only become worse with each arrest, a treadmill to nowhere. all of that sadness on the part of those working in the system is actually a very inspiring glimmer of hope for change. becuase the human majesty of such people to speak out in that way in a way that could imperil their very livelihood sets such a standard of behavior that the rest of us — for whom it would be so much easier to voice protest — must be inspired by.”
