The #GOP's "plan" to fight #Homelessness will almost certainly involve #incarceration (I recall at least one #Republican controlled city simply declared homelessness "illegal"... as if people were homeless by choice.) 
@photoncollector The #USA has one of (traditionally the highest) #IncarcertationRate both absolute and espechally relative per capita with >650 per 100k population.
You can thank the #ForProfitPrison / #PrisonIndustry for that!:

Today in Labor History July 4, 1977: The George Jackson Brigade planted a bomb at a power station in Olympia, Washington, in solidarity with a prison strike at the Walla Walla State Penitentiary. They were a revolutionary group founded in the mid-1970s, based in Seattle, named after George Jackson, a prisoner and Black Panther who was shot and killed during an alleged escape attempt at San Quentin Prison in 1971. The Brigade was composed of both communist and anarchist veterans of the women's liberation, LGBTQ and Black Nationalist movements.
A #racketeering #conviction would have carried the most serious potential #incarceration time for #SeanCombs, with a maximum sentence of up to life in prison. Convictions for the counts of #SexTrafficking by force, fraud or coercion – one for Ventura, & one for Jane – would have each carried a statutory minimum sentence of 15 years & up to life in prison.

"These questions, combined with a murder that tore into my own family, inspired me, several years ago, to volunteer to witness an execution—one of 13 carried out at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, during the final six months of Donald Trump’s first term." —Elizabeth Bruenig for The Atlantic

Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience
"Our artwork and culture is somehow revered on the international stage and high enough for an exchange at that level, but yet, we're the most incarcerated people on the planet.”
"Since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, Indigenous incarceration rates have more than doubled, and deaths in custody have continued to rise."
"It's a huge stain on this nation...White Australia's support is crucial."

John J. Lennon lives at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he is serving his 24th year of a 28-years-to-life sentence. He’s also a journalist whose work has appeared in Esquire, the New York Times, the Atlantic, and more. Until last year, he was at Sullivan Correctional Facility, where he mentored emerging writers, both informally and most recently, through the Sullivan Nonfiction Writing Workshop. He writes for @nybooks about setting that up, and what happened when it came to an end with the prison’s closure. “I often think about the time before I came to prison, when I had no promising future. I’ve come to realize that two opposing realities can be true at once: prison probably saved my life and it’s where I learned to write; and prison is a disgusting place that’s hurting me more now than ever,” he writes. “I’m both ashamed and proud of my path. But it wouldn’t have been possible if prison officials hadn’t given writing programs a chance.” [Story may be paywalled]
