Throughout American history, the judicial system has been criticized for its ever-present racial profiling and lack of evidence to prove guilt. – The pressure to admit guilt, where no crime was committed. Injustice is not only prevalent in the prison system however, but is occurring in schools, at the workplace or even in your very own home. How would you feel if you were wrongly convicted for a crime you did not commit?
To ‘rectify’ is to correct a wrongdoing, a recurring theme and the basis for the television show of the same name. ‘Rectify’ is a programme that has an intense personal nature attached to its characters that provides the most realistic sense of family life on modern television today. It covers the emotional impact and acceptance …show more content…
He emits a sense of surrealism and daunting sadness. When you gaze into his eyes, you are looking into the eyes of a man who has seen Hell. There are moments when he looks as though he is about to begin screaming at any second, and never stop. His mannerisms and lumbering speech is indicative of the torment he has gone through after 19 years on death row that has hardened his sense of compassion; depriving him of the interaction human beings are built on. He and I both suffer from an unrealistic expectation of how everyone should treat one another - how one simple act done on impulse, could cause serious grief. I have a hard time expressing my thoughts without feeling some sort of pressure that the words falling out of my mouth are even worth the time to express, and whether what I say has any real impact on anyone’s life, even my own. Daniel falls victim to his verbal shortcomings when he is faced with certain dilemmas over the course of his release; such as facing the mother of the victim.

Without the warm touch of another person’s hand in mine, or without the knowledge of what is going on in the outside world – Who won the world cup? Are the UK still in the EU? These most simple questions, become nothing but a laughable prospect. Most view prisoners as monsters. I prefer to view death row inmates as leafless trees; left bare to show to the world that they have done an unforgivable deed. But aren 't leafless trees basically just nature 's skeletons? A rotting corpse waiting for the day they will be chopped down and replaced by another. Perhaps, death row is nothing but a glorified torture
