Read the excerpts from "Wrongful Convictions" by Jon
Gould and Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. The
authors are discussing changing the justice system.
"Wrongful Convictions"
We are seeing a number of police departments and
prosecutors take interest in these issues and really try
to prevent them.
Just Mercy
The closer we get to mass incarceration and extreme
levels of punishment, the more I believe it's necessary
to recognize that we all need mercy, we all need
justice, and perhaps-we all need some measure of
unmerited grace.
Based on the tone of both excerpts, what can logically
be concluded about the authors' beliefs about justice
system reform?
O They believe that the criminal justice system is not
involved in reform.
O They believe that the criminal justice system must
be invested in reform.
O They believe that everyone has a role in making a
change to the criminal justice system.
O They believe that forgiveness is important for
change in the criminal justice system to occur.
