John Legend Responds To People Who Think Felicity Huffman’s Sentence Is Too Short
Americans have become desensitized to how much we lock people up. Prisons and jails are not the answer to every bad thing everyone does, but we've come to use them to address nearly every societal ill.

Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison after pleading guilty to a single count of conspiracy and fraud in the college admissions scandal.
It's unconscionable that we locked a woman up for voting when, unbeknownst to her, she was ineligible.

And no one in our nation will benefit from the 14 days an actress will serve for cheating in college admissions. We don't need to lock people up for any of this stuff.
