US prison labor is used in the supply chain of major retailers. Basically modern slavery.

[Mowgli]

The problem is that people don't view the lack of freedom as the punishment........and decide that more punishment needs to be piled on. Every felon isn't a violent felon, and the population is and will continue to be artificially inflated to continue to the supply of free labor.......that's the real issue at hand and the real reason for a lot of unsavory policies

Going to be difficult to convince people who have been traumatized by criminals, violent and non violent to have sympathy. Especially when 77 percent of felons end up back in the system within 5 years.

Personally I think they need to get serious about separating people who want to play gladiator school from people who want to do their time and come out ready to be good citizens. Government would need to creat or make a list of companies that will hire felons a available.

After that it's all on the man to get out of his own head of feeling sorry for himself to live life on the right path

During Covid I personally witnessed Florida police officers arresting homeless people because they were breaking curfew. Now it all makes sense

"Slavery shall be abolished EXCEPT as punishment for a felony" it literally didn't even rebrand. It's just there. Staring at us

This is why we can’t let the republicans take over the presidency, house and the senate. They want every state to be like Florida and Texas when it comes to minorities and women’s rights.

The United States is the only country in the world to the best of my knowledge that included it in the constitution that you become a slave once you’re arrested and imprison, think about it. Now you can understand why they do everything possible to imprison the black man.

@Mushroom49ers
No, not true at all. No one is forced to work in prison. Inmates with a certain record are given an opportunity to work for prison wages on their books for commissary and/or time off their sentence. If an inmate chooses not to work there is no penalty to that inmate, they just don’t get the benefits. Stop spreading lies, there are too many stupid people who believe everything you tell them.

When I try to tell people that prison is a Numbers game, it’s about how much money they get per inmate per year and they have to keep them full. They never believe me. I actually did eight years so I think I would know from the inside.

@SilentRenegade_
Are you dumb those aren’t your only choices….. bad life decisions put you on the street and really bad life decisions land you in prison……. And educate yourself and work for yourself make more money and gain more freedoms horrible mentality to have there. Then we have people wondering why they feel oppressed because it’s all about mind set ANYONE CAN DO ANYTHING. Yes luck has a factor but your choices are a direct consequence of your situation. (MAJORITY OF THE TIME). Homeless vets should never ever be on the street tho unless they were dishonorably discharged for some crazy thing

The American Rescue Plan, CHIPS and Science Act and Infrastructure and Jobs act have addressed those points. They have also taken several meaningful steps toward criminal justice reform, like directing the DOJ to phase out private prison contracts through executive order, directing funding to mental health and community-based alternatives to incarceration, pardons for federal convictions of marijuana possession, reinstated and expanded the criminal justice reforms rolled back by the Trump administration, and so on. While we can impose meaningful conditions on lethal aid to Israel to advocate for a ceasefire and pursue diplomatic avenues to mend our relationship with Iran, it's important to understand that we are not currently at war with anyone, so we can't "end the wars" in that context.

I know you are trolling anyway. You're just a troll from 4c*** who revived a years-long dormant account, but hopefully some reasonable people see this and start seeing you for what you are.

And stop talking about Flint, because you know you don't care.

Federal grant money is why the water system infrastructure was able to be modernized and why lead service lines have been replaced in Flint. The vast majority of that work has already been completed. Still, it shouldn't have taken so long.


Too many people complain about things when they don't even pay attention to them. It's annoying.

What can an executive order do? What about when administrations change and those orders are ignored and rescinded? Why do you guys always speak on shyt you don't understand? You obviously don't care about what's happening in Flint outside of exploiting to fuel your faux-militancy. As of today, 97% of lead service lines have been changed out and water systems modernized thanks to federal money and federal court mandates. Too many of you pretend to care about these issues, but you don’t pay attention or follow them. Or, if you do, you ignore the successes because they disrupt the narrative of 'they don’t do anything, they don’t care.' The argument that it shouldn’t have taken so long is reasonable, but spreading outright misinformation is not.
