    I think law enforcement should mostly be based on a triage system. Biggest problems get the most resources. Minor problems get the backlog.

    There are so many problems in prisons that actually need investigation that a single case of post-mortem organ harvesting is truly minor. This isn’t a pattern of behavior, this is one single case. Prove me wrong.

      Did you read the article? It’s literally the whole case for the family. The heart missing can’t be forgiven and forgotten because they see it as a larger pattern of misconduct that the Alabama Department of Corrections has shown for a long time.

      It’s absolutely worth investigating because it’s another piece in the larger case against the prison system in Alabama. That’s not even considering that it’s just the fucking right thing to do because people’s grief is important. There’s a reason post-mortem ritual has been a part of human cultures since before we were homo sapiens.
