    Because nobody with the ability to change it wants to change it. They don’t see criminals as people. And it doesn’t matter that the person is not actually a criminal. They somehow think that innocent people being free shows them as somehow being soft on crime, because it requires compassion which is clearly a weakness, or something they just don’t experience, because they’re a sociopath. There’s a reason so many “successful” people show sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies, it lets them do things others aren’t willing to do.
