8. the only difference between some guards and "super max prisoners" is...
those guards can go home. nothing much will change until the states decide to stop throwing non violent offenders in prison and this country decides to keep jobs in this country.

i`ve seen young mothers with their babies in the prison waiting rooms waiting to visit their husbands who`s only offense was selling drugs on his corner. the only jobs in some parts of the inner city is dealing drugs and the chances of this guy getting out and returning to his corner is...what else is there for him to do? chicasgo used to have hundreds of thousands of jobs a young father like him could have worked at but those days are gone.

nothing will change until everyone has a chance at getting a job that can support their family. i have a relative who will find this out in a few months...
