Ron...
It just: "Aint necessarily so", as the old lyric states.
"The Law is the Law" is quite different for both Poor and Middle-Class Americans and/or vast majority,...than it is for America's quite wealthy notables backed by teams of lawyers, that only the richest or wealthiest of individuals can possibly afford.
Hell, and even on the rare chance that any of such wealthy are convicted of ANYTHING (quite unlikely since not normally happening),...their quite short (shorter than most) encarcerations could be better compared to stays at A Day Camp,...rather to any semblance of what's referred to as: "Doing Hard Time".
Sorry Ron.
But,...that's how it is.
Correctional Institutions are basically constructed for The Poor and Middle-Class. "Day Camps" are for The Rich, "Connected" and/or well-off and legal team represented.
You'll never see OJ's, Jacksons (either Jesse or Michael), Kennedies (too many to list), Marthas, Bishops or Politicians splittin-rocks.
