Who the hell is the guy on the far right? I've seen him do standup, it was really funny, but I never caught his name!

@eski514 Come on, it's a comedy show. Yes there were a few jokes, but this has raised awareness of what goes on in the American prison system.

[DAMND3Xx]

America is fucked and I am ashamed to live here.

[Fozanat0r]

How the fuck would having only one arm prevent you from using a switchblade? The goddamn POINT of a switchblade is that you can open it with one hand.

[Toms2bomb]

@Fozanat0r I didn't laugh at his jokes either. Anyways, prisons here are effed up.

[radicalhit]

@Fozanat0r

There was a bit previously where they talked about a rule that goes something like 'people with one arm are allowed to carry switchblades in airport without breaking the law'

[eski514]

Seriously, fuck british comedians

[eski514]

I hate when people clap and laugh at lame jokes when there are pertinent social issues at hand

because they can't do anything about it

[serjjery]

@eski514 These are British people talking about the American prison system. They can't do anything about it, you're right. They're British. The jokes were funny and the (British) audience was laughing at them because these (American) issues are legitimately something for them to laugh at.

America is so great! Because my mother needed a new heart and we were on a long waiting list but she could get one from a prisoner. Are black hearts as good as white hearts?

[Warmeista]

FUAAAAAAAAA

[picturepirate62]

The prison complex gets paid by the gov. to feed and cloth them so when someone goes to prison the prison gets paid. and they have the slave labor. They have prison complexes on trains now. Judges give out long sentences and play golf with the warden. And the tax payer pays for the slave labor. enormous profits.

[29sublime]

Private prisons should be illegal.

[SRMeadows]

America is the laughing stock of the world. Everyone(americans) likes to think that we americans wear the white hat, and can do no wrong....that we've got it all figured out. The truth is that we are the most selfish, wastefull, unaccountable, and backwards country ever. Just a shadow of ourselves 50 years ago.

And they are set up for repeat business too. Back in my day, we had a quaint saying "he's paid his debt to society" that described a person getting out of prison. Not today, if you get out of prison today, just try and get a job. You can't even deliver pizza's with a felony record. And not only are jobs denied to you, you can't get student loans, you can't get food stamps or medicaid.

So, if you can't get a job, or any assistance, guess what is left for you to do to survive?

[matcotech]

No one even talks about this in America. I feel sick when I realize the scale of it. When are we going to fix this?

[iam7who7iam7]

But yet shit still remains the same and nothing gets done.

[daviddalbylive]

How many corrupt politicians and Banksters in jail ... none.

[Yreva357]

@daviddalbylive I suppose Bernard Madoff, Edward McClain, Tom Anderson and plenty of others don't exist.
