The MoJo Daily newsletter, Monday through Friday. [View in browser]( [Mother Jones Daily Newsletter](     August 25, 2023 Last night, in between last-minute [bets on his weight]( and wall-to-wall coverage, Donald Trump's mugshot finally dropped. Liberals rejoiced and memes abounded; Trump posted it to social media with the line "NEVER SURRENDER," despite literally doing just that at a Fulton County jail. [The expected merch also debuted](. But let's take a minute to reflect on the left's glee. Trump receiving his comeuppance is indeed something to celebrate. But as my colleague Eamon Whalen [wrote in an excellent piece](, his arrest is also a good reminder that mugshots are bad: People’s mugshots are regularly published in the papers and online, often well before they face trial or are even convicted of a crime. These aren’t “Wanted” posters; there is no good reason to publish the picture of someone at their lowest point, after they’ve already been booked and charged. As the media critic Adam Johnson wrote, the [widespread publishing]( of mugshots “leads to summary public shaming, firings, diminished social status—all before a trial has even taken place. In the age of SEO, it’s a form of extrajudicial punishment that largely harms the poor and people of color.” On top of that, the existence of a person’s mugshot on the internet can follow them for years, much longer than whatever legal case they were dealing with at the time. The purported purpose of a mugshot is to make it easier for law enforcement officials to identify people who break the law. So a mugshot for one of the most recognizable faces on the planet feels unnecessary, even if it provides catharsis for those long wishing to see the former president held accountable for his actions. None of this is intended to scold. I too feel a level of satisfaction seeing Trump arrested. But we should feel uneasy about the white-hot anticipation of any facet of the criminal justice system. As Eamon writes, [that's especially true with mugshots](, which often have life-ruining effects for people who don't have the ability to [shamelessly fundraise off of their arrest](. —Inae Oh Advertisement [House Sustainer Ad]( [Top Story] [Top Story]( [Trump’s Arrest Is a Reminder Mugshots Are Bad]( In most cases, a photo of someone at one of their lowest points is evil.
