Let's be honest: we lock up so many people because it's profitable for prison corporations and states to have free labor. We criminalize poverty to keep the flow of people and stock prices.

It's not about safety and never has been. It's about racism and profit. That's it.

Hell, there's a reason for profit prison companies lobby against tenants rights ordinances and rent control: evictions lead to homelessness, and homelessness leads to arrests and convictions. It's not a secret. It's all open. That's the system you're defending.

Right😤
