Anyone watching? For profit juvenile supermaxs, lobbying for madatory minimums, "war on crime," "war on drugs," Lamar Alexander a big player in the initial push toward privatized prisons both adult and juvenile prisons.
Majorly corrupt system. Children as young as nine getting adult sentences.
Highly recommended if you have free speech TV.
This is so not America. Or what I used to think what America was. I never thought the US was perfect, but I've been pretty blind to just how bad things are. Kids with perforated eardrums from being smacked in the head by guards, kids wearing the same clothes for 14-15 days straight and on and on. These are kids as young as nine, but the average age is 14.
It's on again today at 4:00 and 9:00 EST.
Edited to add... No big surprise. 81% black, 90% poor. Shocker, huh?
