Truth
After 20 years teaching in a jail in Virginia, I've come to the conclusion that most people incarcerated are there because they are poor. #classwar
I was down from 1995 to 2014; did your brother not watch TV during all that time? Read magazines? Do work release?
And here I thought going to prison for 18.5 years to get out of my Columbia Records bill of $135 was a great bargain
Wait until you hear about exclusive contracts or how every major phone company has been caught and fined of rigging the calls to drop too easily because then people call back and boom—more money cause fuck them prisoners (and their families), right? /s
So you’re gonna reduce recidivism? It’s currently at 66% for just the first 3 years post-release. Maybe consider actual education and jobs and resume visiting @WACorrections because as it stands now all you’re doing/done is just talking
PRESS RELEASE: @GovInslee Names Cheryl Strange new @WACorrections Secretary
Strange is currently @waDSHS Secretary, where she was appointed to the position by Inslee in 2017. She served as DOC deputy secretary from 2008 to 2011. doc.wa.gov/news/2021/0429202…
Was threatened with 45 years; did 18.5 years. No, they didn’t pursue me at all. That envelope stamped “this was mailed by someone in a jail facility” or whatever it said
Fun fact: when I was in county jail facing a few decades of incarceration I sent them their bill back and with that return address and a quick note about what happened—voila! No more bills. So, you know, kind of a wash
Two years...after I was “off paper” aka off community custody (aka off newspeak for parole) before I could even register
Why does the US, with 4% of the world’s population, have 22.77% of the world’s number of prisoners?
It’s almost like it’s intentional.
