We absolutely need cops, courts, prisons, jails and all that. The issue I have is with how they are deployed as tools to correct societies behavior. The way the USA uses them, it doesn't work and only serves to suppress a group of minorities from becoming participants nor leaders in society. Jail is supposed to be for those who did wrong and need a "timeout" so to speak. A wake up call or reality check on their behavior. Prison is more longer term rehabilitation. Problem is, our society's tolerance of crime and sentences for said crimes lands people in jail more often than not. Difference being jail sentences are up to a year, prison year+. Not to mention the absurd bias towards minorities in how we police, how we judge, etc. to fill said jails and prisons which are increasingly becoming For-Profit by leasing prison workforce labor out at 1890s labor costs of $0.27/day. It's legalized slavery.
