There are too many similarities to Prison and Slavery.
1. You are told when and where to sleep.
2.You eat when you are told.
3.You can’t have visitors until you have permission.
4.You can only go outside when you have permission, unless you are outside to work.
5. You have shelter,and food.You however, don’t have freedom to choose how your prison wages are spent.
7.The more knowledge,the more freedom! Prisons are limiting education to inmates, for this reason.
8. You can not leave a confined area until you are let out of your cage.
9. You are programmed to adjust to the system,as slaves did.
10. Families can’t touch or talk to you without permission from your overseer.
Families are stressed out trying to help inmates have a better life.You can’t make people want more in life.They have to want it for themselves.Now prisons seem to just keep swapping out different men from the black communities.
People fought and were beaten to give us freedom.When slaves would run away for a better life,they stayed far away from the plantation.So why aren’t the men getting released from prison doing the same thing?
Slaves never went back and forth through plantation doors. Once they left they were gone,for good.So AGAIN,why can’t our men do the same thing?We need strong fathers,for daughters.We can’t grow as a community, if we have to send more commissary than love.
You have to run from prison and never go back. You can’t go to the same places with the same people. You make it easier to go right back to your Prison Plantation.You have to fight to stay safe and free.If you don’t have freedom,you’re not really a man at all.
