Colin Gray, whose son is charged with the slayings of 4 people at Apalachee High School, asked a judge to be separated from other inmates behind bars.
On one hand, you should be safe in jail to serve your time. We aren’t animals and treating criminals inhumanely or allowing as such is just perpetuating a cycle.
On the other hand? Fuck that guy.
True… Once we start talking about more ethical treatment of prisoners, it gets embarrassing fast when we have to confront the fact that not only is most or all US incarceration not intended for any personal or societal benefit or protection, but it is actively seeking to enslave the population for shareholder value.
An entirely new philosophy of how criminal offenders should be dealt with is needed, but I’m not even sure those cards are in this deck.
You left out America’s seething thirst for revenge instead of justice and good Ole American racism. Prison is just a house to keep the undesirables. If you’re there you deserve everything that happens to you. There are no innocent or even people in prison. Those are things that are kept away to keep society (white ppl) safe.
