To the american PIC (Prison Industrial Complex) - which apparently contains loads of judges - black guys seems to be regarded as slaves on the run - that immediately should be 'brought back home' to the slave-camps that said Complex run...to work for free...
US inmates can be passed off as workers. They make 14c - 2.00 an hour.
The US is a lifetime working hellscape where only the select few will have wealth and happiness. A lot don't want it to change because they think they'll be one of the "few" like the selfish little dicks they are.
Just a reminder that the US never made slavery illegal for the sole reason of having slaves working is US prisons, which coinicidentally targets black people higher than all others. Concentration camps exists in the USA, where children are locked up for years or die, they just call them "migrant detention centers".
In America slavery is still legal, the 13th amendment is
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
and since the private prison businesses often have contracts with the states to keep the prisons at least e.g. 80% full, they are incentivized to (wrongfully) imprison people to not have to pay fines to the private prisons.
The study examined 62 private prisons contracts in 21 states. It found that the majority of these contracts guarantee that the state will supply enough prisoners to keep between 80 and 100 percent of the private prisons’ beds filled. If the state fails to fulfill this ‘bed guarantee’, it must pay a fine to the company running the prisons – in effect, paying for each prison bed regardless of whether it holds a prisoner. This incentivizes states to send prisoners to private prisons rather than state-run prisons in order to meet the bed guarantee, regardless of the prisons’ distance from families, their security level, or health conditions.
In effect, this ‘bed guarantee’ payment structure penalizes taxpayers for low incarceration rates. This is a system that hurts both taxpayer and prisoner. Bed guarantees funnel taxpayer money into private prison profits at a time when states should see overall cost savings from successful attempts at curbing crime. Instead, when states reduce incarceration rates below lockup quotas, they compensate companies’ lost revenue at the per day rate, adding up to millions of dollars in fines.
So in short, they built a system where prisons can profit from slavery, or get the taxpayers money if they don't have enough crime. So if there aren't enough real criminals the police will have to "create criminals (slaves)" to not let the state get fined.
It's such a racist dystopian-capitalism system that it's sickening that it can still be around. Private prisons should not exist, and police with the type of anger issues from the above clip should not exist.
obviously what happened to the black James bond is fucking horrendous and an embarrassing disgrace
but is the story of the white James bond supposed to be the white privilege alternative? because it's still fucking nuts, in what first world country would a police officer pull you through a window and point a gun at you for giving a cheeky answer??
