Do jails or prisons ever really bring us justice

We still have the problem of armed and dangerous police. We need to talk about changing what we fund.

Absolutely. I'm constantly scared that a crazy cop will hurt my beautiful 19 year old black daughter. Same for my brothers and uncles but mainly for my daughter.

In the US, prisons were (still are) built to support entire industries and communities. Free labor benefits corporate America, government, and shareholders. Prisons are primarily built in rural white communities to support their local economy. The school to prison pipeline ensures that primarily black and brown bodies fill the cells later. After someone is a convicted felon, they often lose their right to vote.

@zeeva70 have your daughter go to the military. When she gets out the government will pay her to go to school! Then she can become a police woman and see what it is like on a day to day basis!

The police are the only thing keeping your daughter from getting shot! Check out Chicago, New Your or StLouis and see how many are shot and killed every week!
