We have a system of justice in this country that treats you much better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent.
Wealth, not culpability, shapes outcomes. And yet, we seem to be very comfortable.
The politics of fear and anger have made us believe that these are problems that are not our problems. We've been disconnected.
It's interesting to me. We're looking at some very interesting developments in our work.
我對這個很感興趣。我們?nèi)粘9ぷ髂芸匆恍┖苡幸馑嫉淖兏铩?/div>
My state of Alabama, like a number of states, actually permanently disenfranchises you if you have a criminal conviction.
我所在的阿拉巴馬州,像很多其他州一樣,如果你被判有罪,就終身剝奪你的政治權(quán)力。
Right now in Alabama 34 percent of the black male population has permanently lost the right to vote.
現(xiàn)在在阿拉巴馬州,百分之三十四的黑人男性永遠(yuǎn)失去了投票權(quán)。

We're actually projecting in another 10 years the level of disenfranchisement will be as high as it's been since prior to the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
我們向前看十年,這個剝奪政治權(quán)利的比例將和投票權(quán)法案通過之前一樣的高。
And there is this stunning silence.
可是沒人提半個字。
I represent children. A lot of my clients are very young.
我代表孩子們上庭。很多我的被告都很年輕。
The United States is the only country in the world where we sentence 13-year-old children to die in prison.
美國是世界上唯一能將十三歲的孩子判成終身監(jiān)禁的國家。
We have life imprisonment without parole for kids in this country.
我國對孩子判終身監(jiān)禁,還不得假釋。
And we're actually doing some litigation. The only country in the world.
我們其實(shí)現(xiàn)在就在幫這些人上訴。世界上獨(dú)一份。
I represent people on death row. It's interesting, this question of the death penalty.
我也代理死刑犯的官司。死刑這件事很發(fā)人深省。
In many ways, we've been taught to think that the real question is, do people deserve to die for the crimes they've committed?
我們從各種渠道了解到 (死刑的)根本問題是,人該不該為他們犯的罪行償命?
And that's a very sensible question. But there's another way of thinking about where we are in our identity.
這是個非常合理的問題。但是另一方面問題是我們的自我定位。
The other way of thinking about it is not, do people deserve to die for the crimes they commit, but do we deserve to kill? I mean, it's fascinating.
另一個想問題的方式,不是人們該不該為罪行償命,而是我們配不配殺他們。我是說,這個問題非常震撼。
