In our legislatures we have people that favor punishment over rehabilitation in order to “populate the work pool.” This is modern slavery. We are literally forced to work for wages significantly lower than minimum wage here at CCCF and at other prisons around the country. For monetary gain! Those who favor punishment in the legislatures and inside prisons are quite literally profiting from our enslavement here. Wrongful arrests, wrongful convictions and drug addicts are given prison time instead of treatment and they are all victims of a very corrupt system. We want it to stop.
One lady here at CCCF was given 25 years to life who had no criminal history, when they had no probable cause to pull her over and arrest her. Everyone in the system has benefited from her virtual kidnapping and she has been forced to work the whole time she has been at CCCF. From the judge who falsely convicted her, the lawyers who did not properly represent her, right down to the officers who have been holding her against her will, while her parents on the outside have terminal illnesses without her. On top of that the Department of Corrections has put into play a mandatory phone registration system online that has made so she cannot even talk to them to make sure how they are doing.
Where are we? Are we in America or is this a Third World Country? This is certainly not the Land of the Free anymore! America should be ashamed of themselves for all of this.
