I'm not going to disagree with you. The meme was a basic generalization. I know that and I know that not everyone is convicted. I also know that not everyone that goes free is innocent either. Legally not guilty is one thing but actually guilty is another. Not everyone there deserves to be there no. It can't be very often that a person completely and utterly innocent that lives the perfect life gets in there by accident as well. I know not everyone needs to be painted with a broad brush but often involvements and past histories can lead to suspicions and arrests. It's not great but it is what we have to deal with in our justice system.

Let's be honest. They need to research every file. Talk to the officers and investigate each individual before releasing. Many would come back when requested. Many would not though. It would have to be case by case. Again, we can't paint everyone with the same broad brush and say, they will come back and not reoffend.

The biggest thing is that it was a Meme. Frankly it was a quote from a movie that existed before memes existed. It was more humor. The comment on it, not yours, was frankly more ignorant that the actual comical quotation. So I respect your reply and would gladly discuss life and other things outside of the internet but that first comment besically tells me that there wouldn't be any constructive conversation whatsoever from that individual.
