Private prisons are shrouded in secrecy. I took a job as a guard to get inside—then things got crazy

I don't wanna go to Houston.
Houston is actually the #1 destination most NOLA people go too once they leave. I'll pass.

Dallas is somewhere I would like to go for varies reasons. It isn't in stone.

You're from Charlotte but you didn't exactly big up your city, why?

i love it here in Houston though.
ive liked all the NO transplants ive met here too.
either is good though- Houston or Dallas
close enough to visit when you want.

I know but I feel like everyone from NOLA relocated to Houston lol nothing against it personally. Are you originally from there?

Funny you say that, that's my destination or Charlotte.

I used to live in Charlotte.
Love that city.
It has a very strong black population. Epicenter is always nice.
I-77 is ...

But i'm in Charlotte every other month. One of my fave cities

A lot of the South is like that. Widespread slavery never really ended. That's where all the loitering laws came from. It gave the system an excuse to arrest Black people then use them as free labor while in prison. That system existed until right before WWII.

Then, drug laws became the new way to perpetuate slavery by another name.

@Booksnrain check out Are Prisons Obsolete by Angela Davis and the First Civil Right by Naomi Murakawa. Both explain the basis for private prisons and the political situation that created them.

simply, these are prisons built and and owned by private corporations contracted by the federal government. They sell stock and thus it is in their financial interest to expand (incarearate more people, build more prisons etc.)

It has rooted in the convict gangs of the post civil war era which basically re enslaved former slaves/black people that were convicted of a crime


It's not constitutional because slavery is legal if someone is convicted of a crime.



Watch 13th on Netflix if you haven't already

Read The New Jim Crow by. Michelle Alexander
It should be mandatory reading in every school, for every child, especially Black children.
I can PM you a link to a .pdf if necessary.

No, I'm actually from the northeast, spent about 10 years in Virginia now in Houston but we hit NO several times a year.

This was the argument against making Black people count for 5/5s of a person centuries ago, and the point of voter disenfranchisement.
Every Black district and city in the South should have a strong representative leader, yet many of them do not.
Black voting blocs, caucuses, and PACs should be running the South.

I can only speak 4 myself cuz i was like this too, but my theory is tht too many nikkas overlook voting locally. Ironically the most immediate changes tht they hope 2 gain from voting in tha presidential election can be gotten locally. u gotta go from small 2 big u feel me

Have you ever lived in the hood? Going to and from school, or leaving the house for a second gang members will follow you to recruit you into their gang. They will also wait outside your house.

Cacs walking around just get randomly fukked up and robbed down here like its nothin. lol

why do you glorify thug behavior? Cacs or no cacs, people should not be treated savagely like that.
