The Court... Is it a death place for people where they do not return as themselves?

Have any of you been to a real court case? Its not as what it seems in the movies. People there actually do cry ! begging for a plea... and the crimes they do is sometimes due to the desperation in them to support the family.

One case was a mother who shoplifted... and this wasn't her first time. She was also a drug addict, and the worst part was when she got jailed sentence she got down on her knees and started crying and begging.Is this how we all are goin to face at one point in our life? do they actually deserve this?



P.S. in any argument, who is wrong may even win in the end.
