OK thats over two million statisticly in the USA in Prison ( avverage ) x$ 50,000. = Ten bazillion dollars . I could do some great stuff with that money ! Build homes , build collages and hospitols .. Help the poor , and their children ...but no it's much more fun to give jobs to sadistic prison gaurds, and parol board , criminal judges , court clerks ... and let them have all the security .We can't elimanate good goverment jobs you know!

[gofindyourmusic]

Right , every man in prison generates about fifty thousanad dollars , or more per year . You can see the motivation to incarserate these mostly , poor and unrepresented prisoners. It is a lucritive way of both dupping the American Tax payers from money they could use to go to collage and go to the doctor , or own a home . Most of these unfortunates just need education , and love . If we stoped being professional warmongers , and prison owners ,how much money would we have to better this country

@gat333 Good point here is a book that will blow your mind "Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano"

@ProjectDystopia - Peace and I kinda feel you.Check ? All art is propaganda A quote by W. E. Dubois. Take a close look at the state of mind of black males killing each other with white man made guns.Remember the scene from " Tales from the hood ". The white dude said to the brother. " I like you,you my kind of ni##,any type of ni## that kill's other ni## is my kind of ni##.The average black person of today either has forgot this scene or caught it,when it was first dropped.

allowing for corporate tycoons to make profit off the bodies of prisoners is slavery all over again. Everything cannot be for sale in a free and just nation. We are NOT for sale!!! Wake up nation!
