The US justice system is one of the best arguments against the US being a first world country. In New Zealand your police force would probably be classified as a mildly racist armed gang or militia, instead of law enforcement.
And the idea that rape in jail is normal and even something to joke about? People over there need to take a long hard look at themselves.
Although of course you could say the same about the preposterous notion of a modern, developed country not having a proper universal healthcare system as well.

It is one of the few "first" world countries where a bankruptcy due to a medical accident is a very real danger. Obamacare helps some but we are far away from having healthcare worthy of a civilized country.
