hey guys, I’ve been reading some studies lately and I think they are quite topical and eye opening if anyone is interested: The color of justice racial and ethnic disparity in state prisons: https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/color-of-justice-racial-and-ethnic-disparity-in-state-prisons/">https://www.sentencingproject.org/publicati...

also some newspaper articles relating to the topic of prison labour being “modern slavery”, adding the previous studies with these really makes you think!

“Prison Labor is modern slavery. I’ve been sent to solitary for speaking out” guardian https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/23/prisoner-speak-out-american-slave-labor-strike">https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp...

the issue of racism extends beyond police brutality, it’s ingrained in the justice system which acts as remodelled slavery - the only difference we can make as non is citizens is to get involved in the legislature so PLEASE SIGN THE PETITIONS speaking is not enough
