And if you are mentally ill they stick you in solitary for months till you finally go someplace with lifers and murderers like Arkham asylum. Which is exactly what JD Vance wants to happen to all the “vagabonds” he spoke of which is projecting hard considering his childhood and mother’s history…

It’s another intentional slap in the face of the less well-off.

The biggest crime in America? Bring poor. If you are brown, a different religion & a woman then expect the full weight of the law. Justice. Ethics. Humanity. Not even made it through the court room door. It was not always this obvious. The dark corruption of Gotham was comic book fiction. It's fact

….while private prison corps rake in dough from taxpayers to house those not able to pay.

And precipitously increases the costs to the State and Federal system to house said detainees. Where’s the money coming from? Taxes. Specifically tariffs.

The taxpayers have to pick up the tab for pretrial incarceration. Cash bail for non-violent crimes is a racket.
