Most of the people in the US prison system did in fact break the law. if you ever work with prisoners they will be clear about this. Very few people are there for no reason whatsoever.

Okay let me be clearer: I am saying that I think most drugs are only illegal in the US for the express purpose of giving the state an excuse to incarcerate black men

I agree with that but that’s not the majority of prisoners and even quite a few of those that are in for drugs typically aren’t in for small time amounts.

Prison psychologists are very clear on this. Once you accept your own guilt you ~~are no longer a threat to the system.~~
