Prison

While I'm sure a lot of the rappers were truly guilty of whatever crimes they were accused of, I acknowledge that the police may very well be racist, at least in certain areas. I think the assassination of Mac Dre was interesting and I wonder if it was due to racism, people disagreeing with his content or personal disagreements. I think the segregation does set up racial tensions for when jail mates are released and I've seen these tensions unfold on my soccer team before. The necessity of prison is clear but I think that the US overdoes it, especially in terms of fairly unimportant drugs such as weed. I think that private business interests in prison are clearly an issue. Rather than encouraging the reform of criminals via psychological therapy, it motivates the prison employees, guards and private companies (immortal technique & rad kass) to keep inmates returning into "slavery". I actually found this extremely interesting!!! This was the best documentary so far this year!
