I've been thinking about the nine ppl found dead in Mississippi's Parchman prison for days now, and I don't know what it's going to take for this country to actually understand that prison is one of the worst things our society does to ppl. There is no justice to be found there.

Is it not worth emphasizing that a disproportionate amount of poc are incarcerated and that systemic racism extends to within the prison system itself?

It is! For those that do not know, blacks make up roughly 10% of our population, but about 52% of our prison population. Racism is a real threat to our democracy, and our peace. I simply don’t want to alienate young people that may be coming onto this platform for the first time.

Sorry buddy, mostly blacks & people of color. Look at the numbers. There is also a huge disparity in sentencing based on race but prison is horrible for all people and because the goal is re-release, prisons should be rehabilitative, instead of cesspools for abuse.
