All right, I have a suggestion.

In the modern day, nobody should be able to be put in jail without a jury.

The amount of times people go to jail based on somebody just literally, waking up on the wrong side of the bed is a lot higher than you’d think.

For example studies show that the time of day your sentencing occurs is a factor on your punishment.

The problem with letting judges throw people in jail for any reason is simple:

I watched a sniper movie. The young junior sniper who had never killed asked the older experienced guy what it feels like.

He said at first he felt awful. But as he killed more, he said “what’s even worse is I don’t even feel anything at all”

When you have people who are allowed to imprison humans and they do it regularly, they will inevitably lose the same feeling that a regular citizen goes thru. You should feel something very deeply because you are about to do something very big.

So I recommend reform such that only a jury who doesn’t have experience imprisoning people have the ability to do it.
