'You can’t talk about looting without mentioning how corporate America and the prison-industrial complex loots black communities.' Opinion | cjwerleman
The US puts more of its own in cages than the worst authoritarian regimes on the planet, including China, Saudi Arabia and Iran, with black Americans the primary target of what is objectively a racist criminal justice system.
The prisons bill these corporations for upwards of $3 per hour, a rate well below the federal minimum wage, and then pockets the difference. In fact, you can buy shares in the for-profit prison sector on the stock market by purchasing shares in Core Civic Limited , which manages 65 state and federal correctional and detention facilities throughout the US.
“We have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it,” writes Michelle Alexander, a criminal justice lawyer, in her bestseller“Rather than rely on race, we use our criminal justice system to label people of color ‘criminals’ and then engage in all the practices we supposedly left behind.”
