Unless it was done wilfully, this just perpetuates the American fetish for imprisonment. They should be fired. They should be fined. And they should be deeply investigated, to confirm there wasn’t intent.

They had an explicit policy of not retracting police reports after finding out they were false, so yes, it was done willfully.

Throwing people in jail for smoking weed in their home is the fetish for imprisonment.

Throwing people in jail for literally throwing innocent people in jail, destroying their careers, and stripping them of their basic human rights is far from fetishizing it.

They clearly understood they were doing harm, which is outlined in the article. If this was an individual who had done this, there would be no question of them going to jail.

Letting people get away with crimes simply because they're part of a corporation is simply stupid.
