Good comment, but reform is hopeless.  Just read the comments made on stories of folks arrested.  It is the current American attitude that such people are pond scum entirely outside the domain of human rights.  Never mind innocent until proven guilty.  Never mind DA's massive overcharging.  Never mind plea bargains tailored so as to manipulate innocent people to plead guilty or face life in prison for a minor crime.  Our civilization is paper thin with current Americans actively looking for ways to reduce a person's status to primitive animal.  Ms. Perlow will keep with the program, of course.  She is a creature of the system and knows nothing else.
