Injustice For Sale
by, Samantha Syrnich TLC
The System isn’t broken—
It’s engineered this way.
Don’t ever say,
“the criminal justice system is broken.”
It isn’t broken.
It’s functioning exactly as it was designed to.
This isn’t a flaw.
It’s the blueprint.
The machine runs with precision,
oiled by money,
fueled by silence,
protected by power.
There’s a reason it’s called
the Criminal Justice System—
Not the Victim Justice System.
Victims walk in with hope,
expecting safety,
protection,
truth.
Instead,
they find themselves
stripped bare under the harshest light.
They are interrogated.
Pathologized.
Dissected like evidence.
Put on trial themselves.
The accused are shielded,
but the victims—
they are shattered,
turned into exhibits.
Their pain becomes profit.
Their suffering—
currency.
Their stories—
commodities
bought and sold
in courtrooms,
headlines,
and secret deals behind closed doors.
Their trust—
betrayed.
Their humanity—
denied.
Their cries—
drowned out by gavels,
lawyer’s fees,
and political ambition.
This system does not fail victims.
It devours them.
It is not blind.
It sees clearly,
and it chooses
who will be silenced,
who will be sacrificed,
and who will be sold.
The courtroom is no sanctuary—
it is an auction block.
Lives go to the highest bidder.
Truth is bartered away.
And Justice?
Justice was never for sale.
She was kidnapped long ago,
her scales melted down
to forge the chains
that still bind the innocent today.
This system doesn’t fail victims.
It consumes them whole—
and calls it law.
