If you end up getting arrested you might end up being literally held by corporations. I remember making a post about prison abolition.
Occupying prisons don't really work because they want you to do that. So any other ideas?
lol
Funny but not exactly an idea.
Prisons aren't being privatized... They ARE privatized...
They also have a pretty big lobby group working for them to make sure nonviolent criminals are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
prisons have been private for a while now. that's why all the legislation for longer terms, stricter laws (like smoking a joint). They make upwards of $40,000 per year, it also funnels money to health insurance and pharmaceutical.

private companies write our policies and hand them to corrupt congress members then give them jobs after they pass bills to increase profits.
