Yup. And at this point keeping folks locked up is also a jobs program (which just gets worse the more you think about it) Something something fiscally conservative

It’s modern day slavery. I was exonerated from false felony charges that never occurred after 8 years in prison. I was charged the day I turned 18… It took 8 years for them to finally let me get DNA testing. Prison is nothing but a money grab! I’ve seen it first hand There is no rehabilitation

100% Even for folks who did what they went in for, the prison industry serves profit not society
