The U.S. has more people in jail than any other country. The General Accounting Office says the number of inmates has tripled since 1980. In this program, recorded in Colorado Springs, Angela Davis discusses how race, class and gender issues intersect with the drug war and the fast-growing prison industry.

    The problem is:

    #1. Prisoners DO NOT STAND TOGETHER!!

    #2. When we get out of prison, we just as soon forget about the whole experience, instead of embrace it.

    #3. We Do NOT UP RISE!

    #4. We do NOT have any organizations that help one another, the non-profit organizations that "claim to help prisoners, really DON'T".

    #5. We NEED to boycott employers that do not hire x-felons.

    #6. We need to stand together, regardless whether black or white!!!

    Until we dismantle the Prison Industrial Complex racism, class divisions and harsh sentencing for non-violent crimes will rage on. It's pretty absurd to think about how many people are in prison in this country. I'll guess that if we discontinued the War on Drugs the prison population would decrease by 20%. That's just one series of crimes. Educate, Rehabilitate ... don't incarcerate for petty non-violent offenses. Stop racial and class discrimination!!!

    Formally abolishing slavery in the United States, and at the same time re-established it the 13th Amendment was passed by the Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the states on December 6, 1865. Now CREATE A CRIME, TO SECURE A CONVICTION, TO CREATE A Slave

    The 13th Amendment to the Constitution declared that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

    prison-industrial complex is BOTH effect and cause. it rises from death agony capitalism as a means towards easy profit and causes recidivism as those released are forced towards a downgraded life and as those working for it are, at best, wasting their lives...Overall a more barbaric society.
