Why you should Care?
| As
more and more people become products of the rapidly growing
prison system, the prospect of someone you love-father, brother,
sister, etc, spending time behind bars is more likely than not.
If you are a black person reading this, then your life may have
already been affected by the mental and emotional, and let's not
forget the financial strain that comes with having someone you
love in prison. In point of actual fact, prison has become
something of a rite of passage for young blacks. Men who have
been made the primary focus of this money-hungry "business" of
warehousing human beings for profit. And within the scope of
things to come, women too will find themselves increasingly
entangled in the web of what is now known as the prison
industrial complex. |
 |
| When
the idea of sending someone to prison in order to be
rehabilitated was conceived, the notion that a soul could be
saved and redeemed was common place. Human beings were known to
be flawed creatures, prone to mistakes; and as a society we
decided that attempts towards redemption should be made.
Nowadays however prisons are viewed as human garbage dumps, and
those who have been classified as criminals have become the
scapegoat for almost all of society's ills. No wonder then, that
one of the most outrageous instances of injustice has occurred
without the slightest cry for balance. |

These men have been railroaded, plain and simple and the is here
to prove it. The fact that they were already incarcerated and
considered criminals is only the reason they were convicted.
What if this was your father, brother, husband wouldn't
you want justice to prevail?
This
is why you should care, not because of what has happened to
these men is unique, but because in the sense that what is going
on in the criminal justice system is part of a larger conspiracy
to make a certain group of people (i.e. the poor) the focus of
it's crookedness, what has happened to these men is happening to
us all.
So
let's get involved and demand equal justice for all. To be
silent is to condone the current practice of singling out
certain people to be treated differently under the same laws
which form the foundation of all our freedoms. Please do not
remain silent; speak out, if not for these men then for the
future promise of justice to be administered fairly and equally
no matter where and what the circumstances.
