when you end up playing apologist for one of the small handful of major modern justice systems that was worse than the US prison system

Tankies are truly inexplicable.

One if my former bosses was sent to a gulag as a teenager. He committed no crimes as far as anyone knew. Soviet justice was often a farce.

The creators of their system believed that if they have to imprison a 100 innocents in order to catch one guilty person, their work is justified.
