1980 -500000 in prison, now – 2.3 million – in us
where our govt puts people – who are violent/dangerous – who are an inconvenient – mentally ill, addicts, shut out of a new economy
700000 people coming home from prison/jail every year
we need more people telling their story… when people know the real stories of real people, then people will recognize that our incarceration mania is a real problem… we gotta get out of this place..
