THE PART YOU NEVER SEE ABOUT PRISON

Most people think prison is “justice.”
I used to think that too — until I learned the reality.

You don’t just lock a person up.
You disconnect them from love, support, touch, safety, and dignity.

And then you charge them for the privilege of surviving.

📌 $1.65 for a 20 oz water
📌 $500–$800 a month just so they can eat from commissary and speak to family
📌 “hot meals” only if their family can BUY them
📌 $2.00 to check an email
📌 $5.95 to send $90 worth of help

There is a reason for this:
it’s not about rehabilitation — it’s about profit.

America doesn’t have the highest prison population in the world because we’re the most violent nation…
We have it because incarceration became an industry.

An industry that:
🔸 calls human beings “inventory”
🔸 monetizes trauma
🔸 charges families for love
🔸 rewards corporations for keeping people locked up
🔸 destroys the soul of men and the hearts of mothers
