A prison state
Tuesday, May 29 at 12:01 AM

Like all of the new metro-area courthouses, the new Denver courthouse will symbolize injustice and lack of transparency by having no windows in the courtrooms (“Justice taking shape,” Spotlight, May 19).
The present courthouse has large windows that let in the light of day as all human spaces should have. By contrast, the new courthouse symbolizes what America has become — a prison state where our constitutional rights have become mere platitudes.

Thomas K. Carberry, Denver

never been to the court house to sit in there so I dont know. I guess anybody who is law abiding doesnt have to worry about there not being any windows there.
once again how is this stated in the constitution that all spaces must have windows?
you really do need to get a life.

Having no windows in a court house constitutes a prison state?
What kind of Kool-Aid have you been drinking.

If you will remember way back when,Ted Bundy jumped out of a courthouse window in Colorado and went on to savagely kill more girls in Florida.

So now I guess the prisoners have the right to an Lawyer and a window?
