This piece from Carroll Bogert's and Lynell Hancock's on the history of the Superpredator epithet should remind journalists how the tone and language in our stories shape public sentiment on crime and punishment https://twitter.com/MarshallProj/status/1329765124178108417

Stinging language aside, many morally misguided young men are in prison—I observe them, listen to them—and I hardly ever see well paid corrections administrators trying to help them. They don't even say hello. That should bother you. #DEFUNDCORRECTIONS

We're so disconnected in here. My peers don't realize that so many of you care out there, that journalists themselves are reckoning with the part they played. A colleague spent $2 sending me that article over J Pay.

Point is, we in here don't engage in conversations or read stories done about us in prison; the compassionate and progressive ideals discussed on panels are not being implemented in prisons.
