   Very few things are "always".

   When they can't afford it is when those false convictions tend to   
   occur.  Then, decades later, as they try appeal after appeal, they   
   might find a smart enough lawyer willing to take their case.  Some   
   lawyers are decent guys who don't require huge fees, and do have an   
   interest in helping people get justice.  The beast is known in the   
   lexicon.

   Learn some things, yes.  Typically those are the kinds of things that   
   people who do well in school can't learn to do well.  There are   
   different kinds of intelligence.

   It is an unpopular position to take, but yes, I do believe there are   
   real patterns in real reality.  Not that they are absolute, but near   
   enough to be useful.

   If you bend that way.  First you need to engineer to get yourself into   
   solitude.  Usually that is seen as a punishment in such places.
