I don’t buy that the industrial incarceration complex is to blame. That’s a leftist talking point. Why do I say that? Look at the crime stats. IMHO many more need to be removed from society.
While I agree the article is by leftists and their goal is different than ours (they are coming from the angle our system is unfairly targeting minorities etc with prison), it reminds me of an old saying:
Even a blind pig can sometimes find an acorn.
I think it’s a fact that incarceration has became a business, not sure you can disprove that no matter how much you don’t like it.
PS and I’m 💯 with you on certain group committing a disproportionate amount of our crime.
