We’re all told that justice is supposed to be equal for everyone, but what happens when the justice system lumps all crimes together as if they’re the same? Should someone caught with a small amount of meth get the same treatment as someone who’s committed a violent crime? Should they serve the same amount of time, or sit in the same cells, side by side? In this post, I’m gonna break down why trying to treat all crimes equally under one blanket punishment is a dangerous and flawed way of thinking.
For real, every case needs to be judged on its own—considering the person’s history, the circumstances of what went down, and just how serious the crime actually was. Just throwing everyone in the same boat without taking all that into account? That creates unfairness, and it leads to a system that’s neither just nor effective.
