    Do you think that all
    people wrongly convicted of crimes are partially guilty somehow?

    .

    Unfortunatley some people knowingly or unknowingly make strange life decisions, friendships or put themselves into a situation that allows the finger to be pointed unfairly in their direction when something illegal goes down.

    This is what leads the law whether they be bent or not to land on their doorstep.

    And not being in the wrong place at the wrong time, looking like the wrong person, being a convenient scapegoat, or falling victim to incompetent law-enforcement officials?

    You don't think that those things might lead to a wrongful conviction, instead of being in a position which makes one seem to be a criminal, which is hardly a justification for illegally incarcerating someone, let alone executing an innocent person. It's not even what "no smoke without fire" means.

    Prison has to be a deterrent. The question is how extreme can you realistically go? The hard labour angle has been proven to not work, US prisons are tough joints but yet many of their inmates are repeat offenders, especially seen in the black community for instance. Crime is a problem which will never be solved.
