When I was in college, 300,000 people were in prisons across the United States. Today it’s over 2.3 million. The real crime here is the advent of the private prison industry. Billions of dollars are made off human suffering and injustice.

Imagine. You’re locked in a confined space w/ dozens. 23 hrs movement restricted. No masks. Forced to share toilet. Either no soap or soap you can’t afford. Many likely have symptoms. Complain: you’re retaliated against. Medical care denied. This is US jails/prisons right now.

Then why do you support Joe Biden? He is the main reason the US is the world’s biggest penal colony. He wrote the damn bill!

I would suggest the real crime is that Democrats just elected Joe Biden, the guy who literally wrote the law that funneled 2 generations of black men into long-term prison sentences for non-violent crimes and spawned the creation of the private prison industry, to the Presidency

I wonder how many are nonviolent drug offenders locked up because of the 1994 crime bill...

Evil must be recognized for what it is and acted upon with the only true power there is - Love. And Love is by no means weak or confused. It is strongest, clearest and most focused power.
