Who Has Due Process?

Due process rights are fundamental to liberty and maintenance of a nation who abides by the rule of law. Due process rights are not distributed equally, however, and they never have been. What is the current state of due process in the United States? How does wealth, geography, race, and especially place of birth affect an individual’s access to due process in the U.S.?

Punishment in the United States

The United States has one of the highest incarceration rates on earth. The U.S. continues to use the death penalty. Prison sentences trend longer and longer. Factors such as private prison partnerships, electoral politics, racial disparity, poverty, and cultural mindsets on punishments all contribute to this hyper-incarceration phenomenon. Who is bearing the brunt of this trend and what can be done about it?
