Mass Incarceration and Criminal Justice in America ↘
“Since prison plays at best a small role in stopping even violent crime, very few people, rich or poor, should be in prison for a nonviolent crime. Neither the streets nor the society is made safer by having marijuana users or peddlers locked up, let alone with the horrific sentences now dispensed so easily…Zimring’s research shows clearly that, if crime drops on the street, criminals coming out of prison stop committing crimes. What matters is the incidence of crime in the world, and the continuity of a culture of crime, not some ‘lesson learned’ in prison.”

Just because there is one black man in the White House, doesn’t make up for the fact that there are one million black men in the Big House.
- Angela Davis, speaking at Appalachian State University, January 24, 2012. (via douglass-forgot-the-chitterlings)
we’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
If they shut down Mediafire,
my life will be over.
Fuck dude.
real talk.
