I'm afraid I am right there on the same page as you. I have a hunch many readers are consciously, or unconsciously, ignorant to the problems you described above. I suspect that you should feel some of these things should change. Perhaps a lower bail? Perhaps house arrest instead of jail? Perhaps a less costly legal process that vehemently screens for reasons to not go to trial in non-violent crimes? (child porn possession is debatably non-violent). How do we increase the possibility of bringing about these changes?

> Perhaps a less costly legal process that vehemently screens for reasons to not go to trial in non-violent crimes? If you can't do any of the things I mentioned above, you will take the plea deal and there will be no trial, you will go to prison for at least several years, possibly decades, but either way you'll be a felon and unemployable for the rest of your life, also a sex offender for the rest of your life, and not for one of those debatable reasons either. But thanks for keeping the process quick, that was very considerate. But change? Good question. Something broad that isn't about the topic and laws at hand, perhaps leaning on another country's system while being sensitive of our punishment culture. Yeah, I've got nothing, rehab perhaps? I do have to commend you for trying here, and I do hope less people are ignorant to the user experience problems in our justice system.
