    That's a lie.

    Prison labor is a $9 billion industry annually.

    That's why they lie to you.

    We don't need prisons. We need healthcare, housing, and education for all.

      @theleftistlawyer Abolishing prisons may sound “leftist”. But reuniting families, providing good jobs, housing, health care and education - is something that one would think true conservatives would support. Prisons does not reform anyone. It may keep someone locked up and in pain. But it will not reform them. It won’t make them a better person. And it doesn’t seem to be an effective deterrent. So yeah, a reallocation of funds….

        @theleftistlawyer and public community spaces not driven by consumerism for people to play, grow, have joy and community without it being gatekept for profit. They don’t want gathering or community spaces unless it’s under guard and in prisons.
