The fact that the state can just wrongly keep someone in prison for over a quarter of a lifetime really makes me doubt the carceral system as a whole.

The second season of making a murderer illustrates this to a painful degree. Multiple federal judges dismissed the kids confession as coerced but the state just flat refused to admit they’re wrong and let him out until a judge forced his release a couple months ago…after spending half his life behind bars for something he didn’t do.
