THE PRISON SYSTEM IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!!: 
part 1

Dostoyevsky wrote: "The degree of civilization can be judged by entering it's prisons." (Yale book of quotes 2006)

I say that some people in this country (USA) believe that justice entails & hinges upon imposing the most painful, excruciating, inhumane & horrible punishment possible for people who are found guilty of crimes. 

Innocence or guilt, is not important, only that someone had to pay.

Because a person has been found to be guilty of a crime does that make them any less of a person than the next man/woman? Some people believe that because a person has been convicted of a crime, that they deserve to be called horrible names & dehumanized.

To put it simply: prisons are money making monster machines that are run by a super corrupted hierarchy of: authoritarian, nepotistic, nihilistic, tyrannical, oppressive, racist, dictators & their blind following DUMB minions.

Todd Ashker of the Short Corridor Collective at Pelican Bay (prison in California) said: "Our struggle adheres to the principles of the constitution and international treaty law and is inspired by all oppressed people's demands for Human rights, dignity, respect, justice, and equality--the demand to be treated like human beings."

Prisons are not built to protect society & keep the streets safe.

The Government could not care any less about keeping you safe, if they did then they wouldn't intentionally & willfully engage in killing their own citizens.

Prison as I have said many times before, are built to make BILLIONS of DOLLARS a year. 
And as an "Ethnic Cleansing" to rid the racists of unwanted "Minorities" & "People of Color".

Laws are specifically designed to target certain races of people to rid our communities of them & justify stereotypical racist views. 

When African American, Latino & Asians get convicted of crimes, the racists can say: " See we told you that we was right the whole time...They are dangerous, violent, uneducated drug addicts who are a threat to our good ole "White" way of life."

It's easy to use propaganda to convince people to assume other people who look a certain way are capable of being criminals & probably are criminals who commit certain types of crimes.

Notice when a person is accused of a seriously heinous crime like murder, the newspaper or TV station finds all the dirt they can to prove the person most likely is guilty & a terrible, bad, evil person.

And the one who is killed, if White is painted as: innocent, caring, liked by everyone, outgoing, good son, loving mother...

If the person who is killed is: African American, Latino, or Asian, the murder is gang related, drug related & the newspaper/TV station minimizes the gravity of the situation by digging up dirt on the victim or bringing up a criminal past if he/she has one, as if to say: "Well he/she could have been an innocent victim, but he/she was convicted of theft 12 years ago...so he/she played a role in his/her own death...It's just one less criminal we have to deal with."

Thanks for your time!!!
