6/1/05 - Protest at the Delano 2 Gates

You have to put the prisoners some where people think of it maybe if these people don't do anything bad than maybe we would not have to make more prisons...Where would we put them think about ! NOT only that THe CO's are over there heads w/ all this inmates there are more inmates than what they are CO's very unsafe.. Did you ever think of the CO's who have to put up w/ all of them ..Some of you never thought of that ..Try on there shoes for once..

Is that english?---whta the hell are you saying? It looks like you're tryingo excuse the endless building of new prisons when there is no excuse. The fact is hat an overwhelming amount of people taking up space in these human warehouses around the country--many of them private/for profit/slave labor enterprises now--are in there for drug and drug related offenses. Study after study has shown that treatment/education/prevention is far more effective than police/interdiction in reduction/ellimination of substance abuse. Incarceration may actually be a tipping point for folks in terms of criminality and certainly worsen/exacerbate pre-existing mental illness. We will not feel sorry for the 'poor lil' CO's' either. They choose that job, to work in a fucking prison, and (especially in CA, get paid very well for it. This response does not even begin to address the response in terms of systemic/power-control/margionalization of people. I'll save that and see if you respond.
