Description

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The prison system is not simply a system to deliver justice, but additionally it serves for financial gain. America has long practiced the use of prisoners to build roads, bridges, damns, railroads, and to perform numerous other laborious tasks- free of compensation. The movie 'Life' (starring Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy) showed how men were unjustly imprisoned and used as free labor. As time has evolved and sophistication increased, prisons have developed into publicly traded companies. Currently, Corrections Corporation of America is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Both you and I can purchase shares and invest our money seeking dividends and a return on our investment. Similar to a hotel, a jail stays in business by keeping a high occupancy rate. Instead of having paying customers jails have the opposite. Free labor!!! "Inmates are contracted out to private industries to do telemarketing, manufacturing, agriculture, bill collection. Prisoners earn $.23 an hour to manufacture high tech electronic components for advanced Patriot missiles, landmine sweepers, and night vision goggles as well as other complex components for military contractors like: McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin to name just a few. All 54,000 Georgia inmates work under these slavery like contracts. This war on drugs which some scholars say (white and black) are saying it is a war on the black man and woman of America to feed the lucrative prison industry." The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan The Time and What Must Be Done, Part 21 I was listening to a Blog Talk Radio Show (The Clark and Selby Show- 'Justice For All') when one of the radio hosts indicated that 'it is not just the brothers on the corner that are being wrongly imprisoned, but some of our most talented as well'. The radio show host was referring to the six men in Colorado wrongly convicted of mail and wire fraud, currently serving 7 to 11 year prison sentences (the IRP-6).
