Fuck for profit prisons. Legal slavery deserves to be burned to the ground. As long as one human is denied their rights we all are.
- It's not just for profit prisons, it's forced labor for convicts. We decided as a country that slavery is still ok if you have a conviction.
  
  Been needing this far too often since stealing it from someone else's post...
  
  That's why the government makes it so easy to charge and convict people
I used to believe every person in prison was a bad guy who deserved it.

Then I read about Nixon, the drug epidemic, for profit prisons and cheap labor, How those who finish their sentence are treated like second class citizens...
- Ahh, sorry to shatter your beliefs further.
