What This Country Needs Is More Unemployed

We Have Accumulated A Wealth Of Historical Experience Which Confirms Our Belief That The Scales Of American Justice Are Out Of Balance.

I'm Suggesting That We Abolish The Social Function Of Prisons.

When Someone Asks Me About Violence, I Just Find It Incredible, Because What It Means Is That The Person Who’s Asking That Question Has Absolutely No Idea What Black People Have Gone Through, What Black People Have Experienced In This Country, Since The Time The First Black Person Was Kidnapped From The Shores Of Africa.

Because It Would Be Too Agonizing To Cope With The Possibility That Anyone, Including Our­ Selves, Could Become A Prisoner, We Tend To Think Of The Prison As Disconnected From Our Own Lives. This Is Even True For Some Of Us, Women As Well As Men, Who Have Already Experienced Imprisonment.

We Are Never Assured Of Justice Without A Fight.
