Why does America imprison so very many...

Why does America imprison so very many...

Because it’s profitable. The government has created a civil war against its own people and the "moral" ignorant majority that apparently runs things allows it.

It's sad, very sad in deed but I guess rural america needs jobs.

Nice shots. But, as far as photojournalism goes, James Nachtwey is my personal preference...
