    Inmates, current and former, have been trying to tell us about prison conditions for a long time. It just gets brushed off as “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time” by the same people who setup our health insurance system and keep the stock market line going up at the expense of the food on your table. Not to mention the mountain of evidence about police being able to put any normal person in prison for crimes such as, “walking in a car town, walking while black, breathing while homeless, and refusing a search of your car” I mean there’s just so many ways to say Resisting Arrest.

    But yeah, we probably should listen to them, they might have a few points.
