95% of all inmates in the United States never had a trial. Due process is dead. It makes sense to me why someone would plead guilty and take a short plea deal

95% of all inmates in the United States never had a trial. Due process is dead. It makes sense to me why someone would plead guilty and take a short plea deal than risk rotting in prison for years on trumped up charges.
