[00:00:00.900] And you've just been incarcerated for having a terminal illness, terminal, terminal illness that you gave to yourself, or you keep a much more debilitating, much more painful illness at bay for inmates incarcerated in prison as a result of their drug addiction, which is usually caused by some form of mental illness. This is a very stark reality. Who waits at the top of the family? Me, which is prison reform. I think we know about prison. Hopefully I never will go to prison. [00:00:23.670] I've never struggled with drug addiction. One boy my life. I'm clean now. I'm still in prison culture somewhat. Any situation which people are desperate is very interesting to me. And I don't see addiction is a disease, but they're professionals who are much more qualified to argue for that debate. [00:00:39.960] So, yes, population is less than one twentieth global population. [00:00:44.430] And yet he has roughly a quarter of the world's prison inmates, according to World Briefed 14. That's an appalling statistic. Better. Disgusting society. And this population has grown since nineteen eighties. It will continue to grow along with the rest of our population. [00:01:00.830] Made changes that need to be enacted or prison reform to occur are reforming our draconian drug laws, as well as fighting racism in our justice system, as well as offering more opportunity to inmates. This will solve the central problem over overcrowding. [00:01:18.960] So first of all, our justice system is plagued with racism. More than twice as many blacks are the rest of the United States as whites, despite being a minority in this country, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice. [00:01:32.940] Many prisoners are therefore aggravated by this fact and therefore may possibly made racist in an already very racially segregated, very racially divided environment in which the U.S. combats drug addiction is before about 32 percent of inmates in state prisons and 25 percent of inmates in federal prisons were in possession of or were under the influence of some sort of narcotic when they were arrested, according to drug abuse, up at twenty sixteen. [00:02:00.990] So by placing prisoners and by placing drug addicts in prison, we are basically taking mostly decent, upstanding people and turning them into hardened criminals. One of the first things that you do need to present is make some friends, join up with the gang, make connections in order for your own protection. So these people then become truly educated and learn how to make real friends and they get out. They use that and support themselves. [00:02:23.660] So when they get out, they have no employment opportunities because no one wants to hire them because they're felons out of state and turn to real horror of the product selling drugs. Then they go right back in prison. [00:02:35.280] So they become more helpless, more frustrated. Frustrated, they're more likely to be violent because now they have a longer sentence and they're less likely to get. Racism, drug wars and overcrowding contribute to violence in our prison system. As far as the cause of this, as far as racism, our justice system, I can't tell you a whole was the racist that I've met were pretty elderly people in my family. And those are the judges that I met were pretty elderly. [00:03:02.910] So I hate to be stereotypical. That's pretty good. Great. Let me talk about racism, but it's just letting me talk. We need to time. [00:03:10.830] The American prison system serves as a great source of cheap slave labor for our government and private interests. [00:03:19.770] Drugs also finance some of the most overtly criminal states in the world that use state sponsored terrorism, including, but not limited to Nicaragua, El Salvador, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran and Israel. [00:03:34.830] These countries are being supported by the US either for ideological reasons, ideological reasons, resources, or because they export us our drugs to keep a workforce in our prisons according to weapons that I won't be taking prisoners working for child molesters and murderers and rapists. [00:03:54.370] Live Nation is working, but we shouldn't be having drug addicts in our prisons as a workforce. [00:04:00.780] Part of the problem is the cause itself. Part of the cause and the province of overcrowding. It's this revolving door. Once you go to prison, you get out. Chances are you're gonna go back to prison because you lack opportunity. [00:04:13.620] So the solutions are pretty simple. [00:04:16.980] First of all, we need to decriminalize all drugs. That does not mean legalize all drugs. That just basically means that if you get caught off drugs, you don't go to prison, you go to rehab. Unless you're caught with a ridiculous amount of people think that you're a dealer. [00:04:29.920] Portugal is decriminalized all drugs and they've seen drops in addiction rates, close drops of violence, drug related disease such as Hep C and HIV. They've also broken the back of the black market in Portugal because of this. [00:04:44.440] We need to reform our prison culture, proffering some DVD classes to prison inmates. [00:04:48.050] We also need often more college classes, more access to libraries and positive mental stimulation or education for president mates was vocational arts and trade schools that when they get out, they have some something to work off of. So they get employed with. [00:05:04.930] There's not a lot to be done with the problem of racism, our justice system. [00:05:08.010] Other than that, we need to find, locate and lock up as many racist judges and police officers as we can. For obstruction of justice. That's kind of unrealistic. That's to be hard to do that. Unfortunately, these times we don't have. [00:05:21.840] So you understand why some laws regarding drugs are ineffective and why we need to reform our prison system? [00:05:27.900] What's wrong with racism in our judicial system? [00:05:30.420] And how these factors create overcrowding, which just exponentially contributes from so few basic to internalization, is a nightmare scenario. But I promise you, it's much more healthy, humane and honest way to deal with drug addiction. [00:05:48.340] I am so thankful that I live in the United States of America. [00:05:52.650] Recolored prisons in South America. They're pictured here and here. [00:05:57.360] I'll take care of you and lots of it up in these prisons that are meant to house hundreds of inmates to house thousands. There are basically no guards just at some point built a wall around the prison complex and guards line those walls inside. The only rule was established by the leaders of the prison gangs. And the inmates are basically just left to their own devices in these godforsaken places. The manufacturing of drugs, not just the sale of use of drugs, occurred on a daily basis. [00:06:29.130] It's pretty commonplace as starvation, murder, cannibalism actually spread, HIV, Hep C, torture and of course, rape. So we're out there yet. [00:06:38.630] But if people continue to be apathetic about this problem, eventually we will get there. Something needs to be done about it. But when these things happen in U.S. prisons, so there's some sort of advocate for the victim and somebody is looking after the perpetrator, these places where that happens still cares nothing. Abbink still in jail. So if you care about this, if we just continue to not be apathetic, that is where things could be happening placidly in a zoo near you. [00:07:04.470] Years prison. Here is Florence Supermax, less than distance from your head. [00:07:08.910] Thank you.
