I commend you for trying, which makes all the difference in the world. There is a book I mentioned earlier on these topics ("Black Reconstruction in America: 1860-1880"; that is the CORRECT NAME). It graciously deals with the reasons the prison system is as it stands today. The project began during the so-called reconstruction; it is a continuation project designed to enslave ex-slaves and other minorities (especially Native Americans) in one way or another (drugs anyone?).
The ways and means of that project are well-depicted in that book in various places (and is playing out in the lives of many today). We all know the judicial system is not based on equality as yet. Further, its yield is the uneven judgment criteria in crime and punishment. I think that is why books like that one were never circulated in the American school systems much, especially in the South, because they are among the many MUZZLED "light-bringers."
But the Universal Code as I like to think of it is the equilibrating factor, that is, whatever hurts one will hurt the other as much in the long or short run; whatever is good for one (if it is harmless) is good for another; whatever good is withheld from one maliciously will be deducted from the other's pocketbook (whatever it is). We all pay for the ignorance of many; we all reap the benefits of the philanthropically good-hearted few.
