There are only 42 public defenders in the state of Mississippi in total. Another strategy used to enforce anti-Black racism.

A failed start

Worse than you think

Look up the history of Parchman

It was basically a plantation turned into a prison. And they picked cotton out they’re not only at the prison, but on other people’s land. And they (the guards and the people borrowing the prisoners) had a whip they used while these folks picked cotton. Sound familiar right? Well the federal government stepped in in the 70s (1972 i think) and had to remind Mississippi that slavery ended already. When the profit stopped coming in the way that it was, they barely took care of prisoners out there, not that they ever did. I might make a thread on Mississippi. Tell y’all some stories about shyt I heard/was taught growing up around there

Please you really should, people need to be reminded how hellish these places are for black folk
