Ive worked in a prison for 2 years as a nurse, and the truth is that they use the prisoners as slaves, they have all kinds of people in prison for even the smallest offence like parking tickets or marijuana possession. Its a scam on the american people, and the prison life is soul stealing, there is no rehabilitation in prison, its a hell of a life. Even for being at a party and someone is in another room with drugs, you could be put in prison. Hope you dont ever have to go to prison.

Federal law stipulates five years' imprisonment without possibility of parole for possession of 5 grams of crack or 3.5 ounces of heroin, and 10 years for possession of less than 2 ounces of rock-cocaine or crack. A sentence of 5 years for cocaine powder requires possession of 500 grams - 100 times more than the quantity of rock cocaine for the same sentence. Most of those who use cocaine powder are white, middle-class or rich people, while mostly Blacks and Latinos use rock cocaine.

Human rights organizations, as well as political and social ones, are condemning what they are calling a new form of inhumane exploitation in the United States, where they say a prison population of up to 2 million - mostly Black and Hispanic - are working for various industries for a pittance. For the tycoons who have invested in the prison industry, it has been like finding a pot of gold. They don't have to worry about strikes or paying unemployment insurance, vacations or comp time. All of their workers are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don't like the pay of 25 cents an hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells.

No other country comes close to matching this number.

last quarter-century has seen an explosion in the number of Americans incarcerated, growing by 274 percent.


African-American adults are four times as likely as whites, One in 11 black adults-or 9.2 percent-was under correctional supervision at the end of 2007.

Record amounts are being spent to incarcerate and monitor the prison population. In fiscal year 2008, US states are estimated to have spent more than $52 billion, a more than 300 percent increase over 1988 spending.

State spending on prisons and supervision has grown at a faster rate than the budget increases for nearly all other government services

Kentucky in the past eight years put away to more than 22,000 inmates.

A woman got charged with murder this year for having a miscarriage. Watch out guys, Soon, masturbation will be considered mass murder and we'll all be behind bars, working for the system. No exaggeration.

Hell, their building more prisons!

I think Hollywood movies GLAMOURIZE crime and makes it look like the criminal is the good guy. People think they are smart enough not to get caught! Gangster music I truly feel has ALOT to do with that mentality of being a mobster, or gangster. MOney crisis and lack of decent paying jobs, increasing prices are not helping either. So many people are struggling. There are so many scams it's hard to trust even LEGITIMATE phone companies, electric, grocery stores all siphoning off us-overcharges!

I think darkies would rather be in prison than in a run down apartment. You get 4 meals a day and watch TV. Maybe a cute boyfriend. How you gonna beat that?

Thank you for posting this. Prison is big buisness. My husband has been in prison in New York for the last 18 years for defending himself from two armed attackers who where high on cocaine !

Its not the drug thats the crime here its the people on the drugs and how they get the money to pay for them which is not always legal, so if you take drugs be prepared to do time there are simple choices.
