Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide the reader with a spiritual sense of awakening as it pertains to a revelation of the human spirit. A revival, or improvement in the condition of any individual or social infrastructure will re-establish citizenship and further restore virtue within the United States of America. Researchers have articulated that our criminal justice system is broken through police retention/recruitment, lack of resources, ineffective prosecution and public defenders, sentencing disparities, and lack of understanding of the socioeconomic status of the criminal or violent offender. These issues are subtopics underneath the umbrella of racial equity. The fair treatment or lack thereof by the system in a manner that meets a logical perception of human dignity provides justification for research into the advancement of racial equity into our criminal justice system. Without such consideration, there will be a viable need for the improvement of equity, diversity, and inclusion as it relates to ensuring that all individuals have an equal opportunity to be successful regardless of their demographic, religion, or socioeconomic standings. These issues and more will be discussed further.
