Author of Texas Tough Robert Perkinson explains that the US's incredible incarceration rate--the most in the world--is a result of our politics, particularly our racial politics.

  • Follow the money.

    America prohibits importing goods made through forced labor or prisoners...

    YET...

    American prisons produce 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet proof vests, 93% of domestically used paints, 36% of home appliances, 21% of office furniture, which allows America to compete with factories in Mexico.

  • And yet the words "land of the free" are still part of the national anthem....The failed war-on-drugs is also to blame for the crazy incarceration rate.....End the ridiculous marijuana prohibition; Legalize it, Regulate it and Tax it....Quit throwing people in prison for having a bag of weed.

  • Can I still donate to Gritv if so how?

    Thank you
