This is an article from Rolling Thunder Issue 3(2006) about this persons experience of being arrested and going through the whole prison system.
It may be a bit dated, and it’s kind of an extreme case, but I feel it’s very important. It’s also important to note that the person in this is white and it very well could, and probably will be, worse for people of color, especially black folks.
Putting it under a read more because it’s a little bit of a read.
