I am begging y'all to realize that the reason they want everything to be a felony is because it creates free labor in most states *and strips voting rights to change that, at the same time*

This is why all the retailers push for horrific, harsh sentences.
They're all using that labor for manufacturing.
Made in the US? high chance it was prison labor.
It functionally doesn't *matter* to them that "it's cheaper to house the homeless"
Because housing people empowers them and then they're not free* labor.
*it costs the taxpayers, in our so-called "public safety" budgets, but it doesn't cost the corporations shit.
Just to be 1000% clear here:
This isn't an accident.
It was built into the 13th amendment.
It's fully intentional that it impacts people of color, especially Black folks, at the highest rates.
The carceral system is built to create cheap labor and disenfranchise marginalized folks.
