3 million Americans are in jail right now... this goes FAR beyond just Trump or any one party.

The system will continue to be abused as long as we have private prisons and a system that will punish you for the rest of your life for getting into trouble. Recidivism helps to keep lining the pockets of Private prison owners and private prison lobbyists. There is no incentive for the rich to get out of the business of imprisoning their fellow Americans.
