Criminal Rights !

There is a large percentage of criminals around the world. Today prisoners are given the same rights as innocent people, but it has not always been like this. In this essay I will describe the strggleprisoners have faced throughout.

Most of the world's population would agree that criminals should have their rights taken away. Although some people may desire this, the rights for aprisoner are suppose to be as equal any other person. The movement for prisoners rights has been going on for along time. Criminal defendants work to defend criminals in court. There are many groups that defend prisoners rights. One of them is the ACLU's Natonal Prison Project. Since 1972 these people have worked to fight unconstitutional conditions of confinement.

The criminal justice system has worked its way up to being equal.  It has not always been the way it is now. Criminals are not criminals until proven and I believe this is the fairest way to manage trials. Criminals deserve the right to defend themselves as well as innocent people do.
