SLAVE STATE
You've kept it well underground, the way you railroad certain groups into prison.
One specific group, the poorest and uneducated is obviously the target, from the way you harry it. Dunking them in that carceral tub, man! Then you pretend a hotel sized bar of soap a week will clean them up.
We can see that's not your true intention, this corrections thing. Basing an entire industry on the unlucky number 13. I don't believe you know what amends meant. Slavery was supposedly abolished, but under conviction, it's polished to a respectable shine. Who you shining on?
You see I noticed our uniforms the other day, mine was Northern Blue and yours was Southern Grey. It reminded me of a terrible time in our Nation's history, when people who were certain, thought that certain people could be called property.
Cotton was King, though they'd tell you it was Jesus. With a head of hair like fine wool and feet that looked like bronze burnished in a fire, they would have had him down on the farm too. Just don't allow the prophets to preach against profits. Those certain people earned Billions on the backs of millions. Haven't we learned the danger of letting certain people decide who has value and who is valuable? An entire industry emerges based on the continued indentured servitude of some to enrich others. Tomorrow, you could be sum.
Slaves can't breath outside of prisons. The moment they inhale on the other side of the fence, they're Free! Instead they are headed off by runaway slave hunters posing as parole officers or case managers, not being released on technicalities.
Like Polio, no body walks. Compensation for feelings of inadequacy has you trying to prove you've got the biggest peni... penal system.
Well, General Lee speaking, "Some people were born to be slaves".'
Generally speaking, " We have independent, righteous thoughts, that's not slave mentality ".
We all know what happened at Harper's Ferry was not a fairy tale.
John Brown's stop the yard truths are still marching on. Today we don't have to break into an armory because the pen is mightier than the swine.
Truths on paper and electronic mail slip though the wire.
There is untold Billions of taxpayer dollars spent on the Corrections Industry.
Conventions are not held in our honor. Staff stay in luxury hotels to see the latest gear and hear the latest theories on how to feather their concrete and steel nest. Hatching plans like a cuckoo, just waiting on the next batch of jail birds to be raised by pigeons. Preordained to populate a razor wire dovecote.
It's a crock of sh... Shoes if you can't see that prison is the best thing to ever happen to the swiss cheese of rubber Birkenstocks. Bye bye Bob Barker, the price on your bo-bos wasn't right.
Pepper spray, cuffs, chains, black boxes, tablets, e-stamps, canteen, phone calls chow hall equippers and suppliers, not to mention for profit medical care of the forced indigent. These are just a few examples of the ticks sucking our loved ones dry. They weren't collared. So many incarcerated people could earn a real wage and send money to those loved ones instead. Help us gain the opportunity to earn something to help ourselves and our loved ones. Force the legislators to see the untapped workforce.
I'm not an anarchists. I'm not saying abolish prisons. People like myself deserve incarceration or death. I'm asking for voters to recognize the disparity in sentences. One man gets ten years another gets eternity, he earn it , did he? Teenagers sentenced to death under the name of life, when science has proven their brains were not completely formed yet. Yet people who claim well formed morals impose this?
