Not EVERYONE in prison is GUILTY, let me introduce you to The Innocence Project

The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. This sort of "reasoning" has the following pattern:
Person A has position X.
Person B presents position Y (which is a distorted version of X).
Person B attacks position Y.
Therefore X is false/incorrect/flawed.

Just hate to hear the truth huh?
I bet everything is black and white to you, if you're in prison, you're guilty, right?edit on 8/16/2012 by HomerinNC because: (no reason given)
Also to note, 60 percent of prisoners incarcerated are mentally ill.
Something else entirely needs to be done to help the mentally disturbed get effective preventative mental health care. Locking them up and throwing away the key is wrong, and waiting for them to crack is a ticking time bomb.
