Criminal Justice- Monday- 1st period
Were you all ready for a very unique take on criminal justice as reinterpreted by an occasional superhero? Because class was starting.
"All right, so," Kitty said, looking at her notecards not because she didn't remember the material, but because the wording was something she sometimes had to get exact. "This class is apparently going to be on the different institutions involved in justice. Namely, 'The three basic parts of Criminal Justice are the Police- and concerned citizens who fight crime in colored spandex-" Kitty raised her own hand at that. "-the Courts, and Corrections. Police capture criminals, courts throw them in prison if they're found guilty, and corrections keep them in prison until their dues to society have been paid.' Which is a little simplistic, to say the least, but keep in mind that last week the extra credit was about cute kittens and we're probably not getting a ton deeper with this particular syllabus.
"...And there's a kitten theme because for our discussion, we have a hypothetical: if you found someone juggling kittens against their will, what would you do? Since there is no law against Kitten Juggling. I'm also going to say this means those kittens are unharmed, but not unjuggled. So I guess what you would expect those three basic parts of criminal justice to do to a kitten juggler."
Kitty maybe looked like she was regretting the old kitten theme.
