What correlations can we make between the prison industrial complex and Azkaban? Who gets sentenced to serve in prison in our world vs who gets to skate by in the Wizarding World? We talk about technological advancements in determining innocence and guilt, and how those are infallible (much like magic, in this case). This makes us think about touch DNA and how it has been found to be slightly misrepresented in our CSI-heavy interpretation of police work: https://www.forbes.com/sites/marinamedvin/2018/09/20/framed-by-your-own-cells-how-dna-evidence-imprisons-the-innocent/#1c4960714b86
