Almost everyone in this neighborhood has been locked up at some point

Just confirms everything I've been reading in this book. I suggest everyone read this, but be forwarned it will piss you off.

fukk America.

yeah that journal article came out after the first publication of TNJC but I bet she references many of its sources
America's biggest dirty secret hasn't been secret to academia for a while

I think that problem is allowed to go on partly due to racism and partly because the prisons make money from having bodies
this research article is eye opening

I would love to make a thread, but I'm not able to just yet.

Hello to everyone out there. I see many of you here in this thread, and I hear your frustrations, I've been frustrated myself for quite some time. The question is, when are we going to DO something? I recently started up a campaign for a new movement/mass demonstration: Incarceration Day. Incarceration Day I'm trying to reach out to as many people as I can through social media, but I'm only one person and I need your help. If you believe our CJ system is wrong, then please join in and add YOUR voice to the conversation. Make your own videos. As much as I'd like to see this happen, I realize we first need to engage people in a mass discussion before we can bring on a mass demonstration. If you have the time, please watch and share this video. Join us on facebook and twitter. Thank you.

breh, don't get distracted by that
kids will do stupid things, its part of being a kid, focus on the powerful institutions that make life changing decisions for these people

Mos def powerful statement, I had no idea how bad young teens were already being targeted for jail, especially petty offences like truancy, even though I don't condone missing school per se, it shouldn't be a punishable crime of being locked up....


I swear the most mind blowing thing is.literally seeing these people being setup to fail....

man there has to be a better re-intergration system for people with felonies....at least nonviolent offenses...

we need better expungement of criminal records. definitely something on my radar.
