Our justice system is too slow for victims looking for closure
Thesis statement
The American Justice system has been subject to various debates, that a risen upon the manner in which it operates. Generally, the core business of the judiciary is to administer justice where it prevails. They do this by adjudicating of cases in an impartial and a transparent manner and in a way that both parties are satisfied (Abraham 77). Cases are taking too long for the accused to get verdict. Other individuals who are convicted of murder are staying for too long before justice can be done and this means that even the complainants will take long before they find justice. “This has been a bone in the flesh of many complainants and also many people who are innocently accused. It is very painful for someone to be accused for a wrong he did not commit or being mistaken” (Abraham 80). Many individuals, who are falsely accused, usually yearn for the day of the judgment, for justice to be done. However, “many innocent people are facing death sentences due to lack of evidence” (Gibney 149). The case may take several years only for the accused to be released due to lack of evidence and this means that his/her time has been wasted and he /she need compensation. Due to this, the paper seeks to establish why our justice system is taking too long to offer justice to those who need it. Many individuals have rotten in cells waiting for the judgment and finally they are released when they are too old and even some die when in the cells. When one dies in the cells, it means that justice has been denied. Others who are the complainant may die before justice is done due to time taken before the justice is done.

However, most youths are engaging in crimes due to peer pressure and high unemployment levels. For instance, in United States, incarceration rates are too high compared to any other country in the rest of the world. The courts are being faced with the problem of high concentration of cases and this means that judgment may take long to be administered as in the cases are too many and unless the number of judges is increased the problem will persist and some individuals who are innocent will end up being frustrated. In addition, the families of the accused and the plaintiff waste a lot of time going to the courts to attend the hearing sessions. However, individuals seeking closure take long before it is granted and this makes many people lose trust with our justice system.
The form of punishment administered is not always equal to the crime committed (Allen 267). There are various punishments which are not cost effective. Actually, it is exp...
