Also the idea that there are haves and have-nots in prison royally pisses me off. Like, they’re already prisoners. Aren’t we supposed to be helping them become productive in society? Yet they’re not even treated equally in a god damn prison it’s actually disgusting how blatantly predatory our legal system is. Many people aren’t even “lucky” enough to work for countless bs reasons. It’s so gross.
It definitely is. Prisoners are at the mercy of the state more than anyone else, so their treatment at the hands of the state should be the biggest offense when it comes to civil rights. But here we are, where people actively root for prisoner mistreatment just to “teach them a lesson”. When at the very least results should show them that this mistreatment does not actually bring any type of rehabilitation or deterrent to crime.
The very idea that we have legal, Constitutional slavery still in the US and most people don’t know or care is genuinely disturbing.
Oh boy wait until you hear about what the chocolate/coffee and mining industries are doing!
