The #US #legal system is not at all about #justice, but about justifying our #carceral #PrisonIndustrialComplex which imprisons people at a much higher rate than any other countryâabout as many as #Chinaâwhile, obscenely, inhumanely, and unjustly, creating massive #profits for both "#PrivatePrison" #corporations and contractors for #government-run #jails and #prisons.
Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.

Crumbling buildings, a lack of space inside them and the high turnover of staff paint a picture of the parlous state of the #prisons service

I can't find the tooted link, but I opened up this article yesterday to read today (as a post blood test reward) and it's beautifully written and heart-breaking. But also shows the power of D&D and TTRPGs to allow people to better understand themselves and offer the chance to grow and learn. It also demonstrates how inhuman prison systems are. What a waste.

American educators are among the lowest paid folks. Politicians, mostly the #Republicans, has made sure that #education quality stays low in the public system so that there is steady supply of inmates in the privately operated #prisons that pays these politicians.
That is how financial #slavery works in #America.
And that is how American kids continue to fare poorly in #STEM education.

Les RĂ©publicains US ont une nouvelle marotte : le bien ĂȘtre des dĂ©tenus et leurs dĂ©plorables conditions de vie dans les prisons amĂ©ricaines du District of Columbia, dont dĂ©pend Washington
PlutÎt étonnant de la part de réactionnaires qui clament que les établissements pénitentiaires ricains sont des hÎtels 5 étoiles à la charge du contribuable..
Rien Ă voir bien sur avec les dizaines de condamnations Ă de lourdes peines, d'activistes d'extrĂȘme-droite pour tentative de coup d'Ă©tat dans...la ville de Washington.

Cordell: Allow judges to reconsider life without parole sentences
Retired Santa Clara County Judge LaDoris Cordell is advocating that California should support SB 94, which would allow judges to reconsider life without parole sentences imposed in the 1970s and 1980s for inmates in prisons...
...there are incarcerated individuals who are completely rehabilitated but continue to be warehoused in our prisons for decades and counting. Why?

On entre alors en nĂ©cessitĂ© "dâamĂ©nagement du temps de travail" et des "contrĂŽles renforcĂ©es de l'inspection du travail" dans certains secteurs type BTP, restauration, pressings. Vu l'anticapitalisme du gouvernement et les moyens dĂ©volus Ă l'inspection du travail, sĂ»r que les dĂ©partements concernĂ©s seront protĂ©gĂ©s đđŒ Les prĂ©fets peuvent agir aussi de leur cĂŽtĂ©, par exemple en ouvrant les CRA et les prisons, ce qu'ils ne manqueront pas de faire.
