    They don't get a trial because they plead guilty. If criminals were smart they would plead not guilty and tie up the courts for years.

    Nah, trials are for the substantial people with the $ to take it all the way.

    By design.

    Fentoine is trying to present a false narrative.

    About 80% of criminal trials use government appointed attorneys; so, most trials do not involve "substantial people."

    It's on Netflix but you should watch it in order to get the full story.

    Well it's like I say, we subsidize corporate america, and now you see that you're a socialist. While our war criminals walk free and recirculate back into governmental offices and as "pundits" on corporate state TV pushing more bogus unfounded wars of plunder and profiteering.

    Privatized gains versus socialized losses for the Wall Street bankster class
    Internalized profit versus externalized risk and expense for the "job creator" class
    Socialism for the aristocracy versus laissez-faire capitalism for the masses

    Only about 6% of prisoners are in private prisons. The remainder are in government prisons because they want the government revenue (profits) to go to them because they are greedy.

    Love to see your info, 95% of inmates get no trial.

    https://thefreethoughtproject.com/du...eceived-trial/

    “The reality is that almost no one who is imprisoned in America has gotten a trial,” explains award-winning journalist, Chris Hedges, in a recent Truthdig column. “There is rarely an impartial investigation. A staggering 97 percent of all federal cases and 95 percent of all state felony cases are resolved through plea bargaining.” Of those millions who bargained away their right to a trial by accepting plea deals, “significant percentages of them are innocent.”

    " . . are resolved through plea bargaining.”

    You do realize that those who accept the plea VOLUNTARILY give up their right to a trial?

    “significant percentages of them are innocent.”

    Or CLAIM to be innocent yet have proven they're nothing but stupid.

    The link provides the population numbers and breakdown. The previous link showing food stamp use has already been provided. The rest involves basic math.
    I read the same article as you did, and the references were to 2010, 2018, 2015, and a bit of 2014. Nothing referred to the year 2013 as you originally stated.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Obviously the concept of per capita means little to you!
