Criminal justice reflection

Josh Repine 
Last day

This last week we learned about the criminal justice system. Our main goal was to evaluate the system and relate or compare it to the criminal justice system that the TV displays. The TV displays somethings exactly and others horribly. For example, TV shows the correct physical appearance of the jail system and the inmates living situation. It also confirmed my idea of a correctional officer because it showed that the officer was very passionate about his job and wanting the best for the prison but not necessarily the best for the inmates. But TV shows didn't show the correct idea of a defense lawyer. Shows portray these self appointed defense lawyers as not caring about each case. But after speaking to one it's obvious that he cares about each case and every situation. The lawyer is trying to win each case. This week was very eye opening and helpful in understanding a major part of the United States justice system.
