Most of those who did jail for their crimes during the GFC were from Iceland, Spain and Ireland. Only one from the US, a minor trader from Credit Suisse. So the Wall Streeters privatized the gains, socialized the losses and avoided jail time. No wonder angry populism is rising

under americas corporate slavery prison system, the prisoners are forced to buy products from prison companies, and some leave prison with thousands in debt. its nearly impossible to get a job with a criminal record, and if you dont pay the debt your back in jail.
alabama pays its prisoners nothing. louisiana pays 4 cents an hour. new jersey is 28 cents.

Along with our partners, we’re (once again) calling on major tech companies to remove forced arbitration clauses – which deny justice to victims of sexual harassment, race discrimination and wage theft – from employee contracts.

About 80% of the men and women detained on Rikers have not been convicted of a crime.
GOP Senators urge the presumption of Kavanaugh’s innocence. Where was that for Kalief Browder?
In practice, the presumption of innocence is a luxury extended to the powerful and the wealthy.

i talked to a parole officer today. i asked about rates of recidivism and hows it compare to america. she says in america there are very little support for people in jail compared to here. she also mentioned the privatized jails in america like its a really bad idea.
we have some free drug rehab programs here, but not all. i think they should all be free, bc if someone is out of their mind on drugs you cant expect them to save up money for rehab.

One has to want to get clean for any rehab to work.
and if you cant afford rehab then you dont get that either...
this leads me to possibly believe the government doesnt want to stop crime. and they definitely want to keep people in jail.

How do YOU determine what one can or can not afford? Try looking up what is available.
if your addicted to drugs its hard to think straight or budget
if you want to stop people using drugs, then common sense is stop making them jump through hoops to get better
im not addicted to drugs, so i can make rational decisions about things. im not a consumer either and my pops is extremely frugal too.

The criminals in power who commit the worst kind of crimes against humanity are never charged with any crime. They are running our countries while the brave whistleblowers who expose them rot in jail. Don’t you think it’s time we do something about that?
