We have a much better one than do nations where people are "disappeared" just walking down the street, to be sure. If our system doesn't need reform, though, how is it that we have more prisoners than the British, the French, the Italians, the Spanish? Are Americans just more prone to break laws? If that's so, why? This issue should be a motive for a bit of introspection, and not simply comparing our society to that of places like North Korea.
I'm not a criminologist, so to speak authoritatively on the subject of reform is not for me to do. But, I would wager that very few of us on here have a background in that field, including you Ditto, so what we have are our own opinions...Mine is that maybe we have too many laws on the books...
