I THINK NOT!!!

Inmates are persons whom most of us would rather not think about. They have been banished from everyday sight, they exist in a 'far far away' world that most of us don't want to admit concerns us. They are members of a "correctional institution" that controls their daily existence in a way that few of us can imagine.

Prison is a complex of physical arrangements and of measures all wholly arranged by agents of government, which determine the total existence of certain human beings who have been ''found guilty'' by another governmental institution-the court of law- where the best lawyers put on their ''shows'' to manipulate a band of jury who, even though are humans with personal experiences and biases, are viewed as ''aliens from other planets'' who are, supposedly, not aware of the case and so, do not have personal opinions.

What about the judge whose favourite daughter was gang-raped years ago and the culprits could not be convicted, owing to want of evidence, who is now presiding over a rape case?

What about the Bank Security Officer who lost his job because his employers chose to ''scapegoat'' him after a robbery at the bank, who is now chairing a jury in a robbery case?

What about the Preacher whose church was burnt by arsonists who were never arrested, who is now serving on a jury in an arson trial? (I can go on and on)

The penal system says these people do nothave a personal vendetta to keep, an opportunity to punish past offenders through the present offender(s), even if they are not related?
Can such people in such system deliver ''free and fair'' judgements?
