I was listening to the
This American Life radio show from April 19th. They talk about how the cops get people to confess to crimes they didn't do all the time, and how DNA evidence is proving that quite a lot of the people in prison now are actually innocent.
But too many people just assume that if you're a criminal that you're not really a person. It's pretty sad.
