Maybe you should do something to your legal system? People in other countries have trials, as there is no plea bargaining in the first place. Take few billions from some internal spying stuff and use it to make your legal system humane and right. Or give shorter sentences. Actually if the error rate in plea bargaining is about 10% as studies suggest, you get 10 % less prisoners just by giving up plea bargaining. So, that is shit load of money to be saved just giving up plea bargaining and 230 000 less innocent people in jail. Not to speak of the ones those get lesser sentences than jail.
