It's like I want to be happy but you can't help thinking what's next. It's like when slavery was over, sure we don't have to pick cotton anymore but now here comes the Klan murdering and terrorizing people, here comes Jim Crow and here comes more violence and disenfranchisement
Hopefully a significant drop of brehs in prison for bullshyt non violent crimes. But like Poiter mentioned, they'll look for some loophole.
I know it removes the financial incentive but I dont think it will stop or slow down police from disproportionately targeting and locking up black folks
Im trying to find a reason to celebrate lol
Exactly. The government has it in their best interest to keep the prison pop low since we are footing the bill. Not that we're still not for private prisons, but they have contracts stating they'll run at certain capacity. There have even been cases of them receiving funds because the prison pop was too low. WTF is that?!
Anyhoo...
I won't get too excited yet, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

sounds good but you know how white supremacy works hopefully that isn't the case.
It won't correct the proportion, but it should lower the numbers overall.I know it removes the financial incentive but I dont think it will stop or slow down police from disproportionately targeting and locking up black folks

This is just for federal prisons. State run prisons , which are sometimes the worst ie: Angola in Louisiana , still can feast with private prisons.
The article said 13 prisons will have their contracts "reviewed" over the next 5 yrs.
that gives Hillary time to backtrack on this

Will shut down.
So states can still have their own private prisons, right?
Yes. Fed vs 'States rights.

I've been saying for years that America is the dumb little brother when it comes to prison population in relation to the economics. Other Western nations have been through this shyt hundreds of years ago. They saw the error and the economical burden it put on their nations and made the appropriate adjustments to change how their prison system was ran. 10 years ago the gov told Schwarzenegger to lower the prison pop by releasing 50k I think because California couldnt afford it and the Feds werent going to loan them any more money. Then they did the same to Illinois 6yrs ago and both these states had the largest deficits in the country. Every other major nation understood long ago that you cant imprison millions of your population simply for monetary gain or society will suffer. 'Merica didnt listen because it was mostly black people they were targeting and we werent treated as citizens.
I hope it comes to fruition. Im skeptical but hopeful. Like someone else said though, theyll just award White Supremacy in some other fashion to compensate.
