"The federal CARES Act signed into law late last month grants special authority to U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr to expedite the release of federal inmates, or place non-violent or non-sexual offenders on home confinement. More than 500 have been moved to home confinement so far, according to the Bureau of Prisons."

The guy probably just fakes it and wants to go home, so he fakes it with his cellmates to put pressure on them lmao

if we'd legalized pot decades ago after it was made clear it wasnt harmful, we wouldnt have such an overcrowded prison system that is unable to handle outbreaks like this.

but no, instead, fuck black people, how dare they enjoy themselves! our government perpetrated a bunch of bullshit about a harmless drug so that we can throw millions of people in cells so that privately run prisons can make ludicrous amounts of money off of taxpayers. gotta make sure we fuck over as many people as possible!

for real, this is by design, and if any politician who is still okay with privately owned prisons is upset about this, its because theyre worried that with so many prisoners dying it'll be harder to justify funneling as much money towards those prisons. psychopathic liars who deserve prison themselves.

god bless america everyone!

Your point about black people and private prisons is weird, considering at the time weed was made fully illegal (1937 Marihuana Tax Act passed by FDR) private prisons as they are known today was not even a fully fleshed concept. Infact the very first OFFICIAL FOR PROFIT PRISON was established in 1984, 14 full years after the passing of the Controlled Substances act of 1970.

The acts of the Reagan administration is an entirely different beast from Menachems original implication of why such laws existed

A law can be kept for a different reason than it was originally made for.

to be clear, some people do overstate the degree to which private prisons are responsible for the worst elements of the prison-industrial complex, when many of the same factors are present in ALL prisons (including exploitative labor for pennies an hour)

obviously that has nothing to do with the original post here though

actual member of the nixon white house "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper's writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.

"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
