    What many people do not realize as well is that in the US, if you’re in a federal prison then you are required to work a job or you will be placed in solitary confinement. Working prisoners are also paid well below minimum wage, and are a cheap source of labor for many US companies.

      No no no no. It's working as intended. It's a cheap labor camp meant to keep you in a frame of mind that when you are released. The odds of your return are highly likely. It's not there the rehabilitate you. It's there as a privately owned manufacturing plant. Some prisons can charge the state for having empty cells.

    • @sirdeadlock
      @sirdeadlock Před 2 lety

      Here's how I think it works, and none of it is racist: person born to a poor family or neighborhood, with more housing than jobs. Because of the addled tax infrastructure and heavy reliance on commuted incomes to businesses that do not contribute to improving the neighborhoods outside of the local tax district; the poor community's resource pool is largely based on state and federal minimum support program fund allocations. This hypothetical person is left with few employment prospects to build their identity around. Their personal growth outlets revolve around low cost investments, such as singing, physical fitness and art projects. The most lucrative professions commonly surrounding them are bottom feeder duties, such as parasitic theft of resource, or dealing in post consumer goods, or acting as a support element to a larger network of production. All of those professions have a high likelihood of consuming their most valuable resource (time) while giving back barely enough to get by (if they can be so lucky). The stress is high and the rewards are diminutive. As disparities become steeper, the benefits of theft outweigh the risks. People from poverty upbringings are just as human as anybody else; they're clever and figure out how things work. A logical portion of people seeking personal progress will turn to crime, since it is the best return for their investment according to their surroundings. So logically, either from stress unloading, crime, association and influence from such people or the resulting profiled assumptions of law enforcement; this poor person is likely to end up in prison.
      Upon release, the US labor force is inclined to punish them after the fact that they have served their time and paid their debt to society. Those barriers mixed with previous lack of support and options create a high liklihood of recidivism. Again, this system is not racist; it is prejudist against the poor.
      That said...
      Economic prosperity is a private class. There's no way to create wealth out of nothing, it must come from somebody. It is the nature of capitalism that nobody can be rich unless somebody else is poor; since the means of production are wielded by the private sector, those companies decide how steep the disparities are, since they pay the wages. Those too are generally not racist... But they used to be. That locked most members of certain communities into a societal trap.
      So, that is why, even though the system isn't racist, it is perpetuating clearly racist treatment.

      Well...your FIRST mistake is living in Texas...really...Texas??? That's the worst state ever when it comes to being 'fair and just'.
      You are legally allowed to ask for a different public defender, one that's on your side and you trust, if not, then you can ask for another one, but, that will delay your case.
      Or, you could continue your case, and file a motion citing the 6th amendment, which guarantees effective assistance of counsel, if you feel your attorney was incompetent, but, you must be able to PROVE that...just because you don't like him...doesn't count.
      I would highly suggest you contact the ACLU in your state, they should be able to help you, or a least ask them for a referral.
      But, I need WAY more information.

    • @AllWIllFall2Me
      @AllWIllFall2Me Před 2 lety +3

      @@DjDeadHomie Remember that the public defender (especially in Texas) is likely overwhelmed, struggling to handle dozens of cases. They legitimately CANNOT afford for most of their cases to go to court. They need cases resolved quickly and easily. As others have noted, if you want to replace them, that's possible.
      You could also highlight that, if your case is as simple as you affirm, that it should be relatively easy to prove in court that you cannot be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt: have the officers testify (or cite from their report) how long it took them to find the gun, have your brother testify that he did not tell you there was a gun in the car, and then ask the judge/jury "would a reasonable person spend X amount of time searching a vehicle loaned to them by a friend or relative, in search of a weapon they didn't know existed? No."
      If you can get your brother and the officer there on the same day, it shouldn't be more than a couple hours.
