Prisons for profit is not right. Mandatory minimum and 3 strikes for non violent crimes. Drug laws that target black communities. There is a better way.

I applaud this campaign's main initiative of educating and bringing to the light what has for long been swept under the rug or kept hidden inside of drawer whose keys have been thrown in the middle of the Atlantic. I praise God for this initiative because no longer can we remain silent because Almighty God has given back the keys that have been lost in at sea to purposely keep so-called "minority people" enslaved mentally. Now, it is time for us to break this new form of slavery, that is Mass Incarceration, before it becomes too late.

Our correctional justice system is broken. Those who pay their debt to society in dollars, in prison and on probation are left with no jobs because the system does not forgive

Fund education not prisons! Also address the real issues of the disenfranchised and provide the necessary support systems.

We must stop this obscene waste of human potential that benefits only the corporations whose bottom line rests on treating people, primarily young men of color, like chattel.

As an ordained minister and a Christian social ethicist, mass incarceration in the U.S. is an educational, economic/class, racial, and gender issue. In my view it is also a pernicious immoral issues that all religious organizations, elected public officials, and non-profit organizations must positively address to stem the destruction of the current and future generations of black and hispanic children and youth.

The incarceration crisis is destroying families, the bedrock of our society and the tradition in which we have raised our children. Too many children are being handicapped in their social and emotional growth into productive citizens by the mass imprisonment of their parents for crimes or allegations that elsewhere do not result in their being removed from their families.

What is it that you would do differently? I know that the men and women that are incarcerated in Mass aren't rehabilitated when they come out but angry because for months and years they have still suffered from the cruel punishment that lead them to criminal behavior in the first place. You put a bunch of angry none law abiding citizens in the same room and lock them in together 9 out of ten times it'll only get worse. Then sprinkle some cruel acting undertrained security, who themselves need to be evaluated every 3 months and monitored with voice actived cameras and recording devices, to help add to the fire.. that isn't the way to help a person see the errors in their ways and actions. I can go on because I have been there and I know. The only thing keeping me oit right now is my family... even that is by a string...
