    Prison inmates nationwide plan to put pressure on the country's penal system by going on a two-week strike. The strike is timed to the anniversary of the killing of jailed African American activist and inmate George Jackson.https://usat.ly/2w1GABT

        Committing a crime does not mean you give up all of your rights. Show some compassion, if you have any.

        Like the compassion these criminals showed their victims? Prison isn’t suppose to be pleasant. Work programs allow them to get out of their cells and actually contribute to society rather than stealing from it. Enough of this bullshit.

        Go visit a prison sometime and tell me who lives there. List all of the crimes. THEN you can talk to me about victims and compassion. All you are doing is being blindly judgmental. Take it off my feed.

        Thieves, murderers, rapists, child molesters and so on. You left your rights at the front door. Go on strike and be fed only #Nutraloaf and water, enjoy.

        I think you forgot drug addiction, racism, youth, and several other causes for being behind bars. Use some critical thinking skills.

        That does not negate my point. Use some critical thinking skills, and stop trolling.

        This needs to be done to get rid of the slavery of the inmates here in the Texas prison system. They are not paid for any of the work that is done and the prison system is makeing millions of dollars if not billions.

        Calling prison slavery? Don't do the crime then you wouldn't feel that way. I feel safer knowing they are behind bars.
