I've never understood racial policies in America and when they try to explain it at school I think thank god I wasn't coloured in America in the 1920's. I REALLY don't understand why the colour of someones skin means ANYTHING?
80 years? In my country maximum sentence is 25 years, then life in prison, with a possibility to get out after 25 if you behave well. I never understood sentencing someone for 100 years or stuff like this- cruel and unreasonable.

Well this country is weird like that though. You can get as much time in prison for killing a person as you can for carrying around over an ounce of cocaine (federal offense).

I also do not understand why non-adult people are sentenced to life in prison, while they are not even allowed to drink alcohol or drive...
