1. Why does America have so much “nonsense” and “irrationality” in our criminal justice programs and policies?

see the majority fall in embarrassment. Historically speaking an independent woman was frowned upon and in some cases, they still are and a black African American was not even considered to be politically capable of running a country until 2008 when Barak Obama became president of the United States.
