The #PrisonIndustrialComplex doesn’t solve #inequality. It maintains it, by turning #poverty into a business opportunity.
A system rooted in profit, not #justice.

Politicians Won't Fix the System.
Why would they?
Once in power, the system rewards them for keeping things the same.
It only comes when ordinary people organize, push, and demand it.
