The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s indictment of the Soviet prison and labor camp system. He saw writing it as his moral duty to the millions who perished there.
Gulag is a Russian acronym for the Soviet government agency that supervised the vast network of labor camps. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn used the word archipelago as a metaphor for the camps, which were scattered all over the Soviet Union.
Obviously, America's Criminal Justice system isn't as bad as in Russia, but it's only a matter of degree because the two primary ingredients of corruption in all its forms are evil and lack of compassion. The main difference in corrupt individuals is merely a matter of the methods used to inflict pain and suffering.
