. We live is a country that values individual "monetary value" first and foremost in society. The rich people receive better "everything" because they are wealthy. They can afford "high priced" attorneys who in turn are able to "monetarily?" influence a judges decisions. For example: I know a young man who was arrested for importing and "selling" illicit narcotics.
Because he could afford a "good" Attorney he only spent 6 months in the county jail! If a young man from the "wrong side" of the tracks who couldn't afford a private attorney was convicted of a similar crime he could expect to spend 10 years in a state prison!
He could also expect to be subject to "large" fines which he in no way can afford to pay. He will be denied the ability to find a "good" paying job because of his criminal record. Spending 10 years in prison and not being able to find "gainful" employment will likely cause him to "again" rebel against society.
From inception we humans are genetically pre-dispositioned to survive and "propagate" and to pass along our genetics.
So what happens to this young man? He fights to survive like he's genetically pre-dispositioned to do. Because of his low monetary he will "likely" end up back in prison.
