I have read the arguments of BOTH sides....yes and they both have a veracity of conviction. I was just debunking your myth of 'a real legal system'. If you want to hold on to that, so be it. Jamaican prisons %s are totally irrelevant and have no bearing on this discussion.
As for your implied statement on "most intelligent people", it doesn't deserve a response.

[Time]

Come on dude .... thats the least.

I really believe that he had a good chance to beat the rap.

Uneven Justice:State Rates of Incarcerationby Race and Ethni

www.sentencingproject.org

Since the early 1970s the prison and jail population in the United States has increased at an unprecedented rate. The more than 500% rise in the number of people incarcerated in the nation’s prisons and jails has resulted in a total of 2.2 million people behind bars.
This growth has been accompanied by an increasingly disproportionate racial composition, with particularly high rates of incarceration for African
Americans, who now constitute 900,000 of the total 2.2 million incarcerated population. The exponential increase in the use of incarceration has had modest success at best in producing public safety,1 while contributing tofami ly disruption and the weakening of informal social controls in many African American communities. Overall, data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics document that one in six black men had been incarcerated as of 2001. If current trends continue, one in three black males born today can expect to spend time in prison during his lifetime.2 The prevalence of imprisonment for women is considerably lower than for men, but many of the same racial disparities persist, with black women being more likely to be incarcerated than white women.3
Drug Policy -Incarceration rates and racial distributions are affected by resources devoted to policing and prosecution initiatives that emphasize large-scale drug arrests, as well as policing in communities of color, at the expense of drug treatmentand diversion programs.

Sentencing Policy-

The proliferation of mandatory and determinate sentencing initiatives of recent decades has contributed significantly to higher rates of incarceration. These harsh punishments have often exacerbated racial and ethnic disparities due to the targeting of particular offenses and/or discretionary decisionmaking within the criminal justice system.

“Race Neutral” Policies-



Whether intended or not, a variety of seemingly “race neutral” policies have contributed to growing racial disparity. Due to the intersection of racially skewed policing and sentencing policies, the federal crack cocaine mandatory sentencing laws, for example, have produced highly disproportionate rates of incarceration for low-level offenses. Similarly, school zone drug laws produce severe racial effects due to housing patterns, whereby drug offenses committed near the urban areas that contain many communities of color are prosecuted more harshly than similar offenses in rural communities populated largely by whites.
