You don’t believe juveniles should be punished for rape and murder?

Being in prison is already punishment. Torturing them in the heat and Sun is just pointless sadism.

So do you do any kind of work or activism against this place or prison labor for profit? Have you ever visited Angola or any prison ? Have you seen these fields?

I can barely convince myself not to drive into oncoming traffic on the way home from work.

Yesterday I beat the shit out of myself with my bare fists because of the heat and stress of factory labor. Literally punched myself in the face over and over as hard as I could. I look like I was swarmed by bees.

I think if I put more on my plate I'd do something to get myself put in prison.

You seem really passionate and I think if you will get your hands dirty then you could help make some significant changes.

You think I'm the first person to give a shit? Many people much smarter and stronger than me are fighting against modern slavery, all I can do is support them. I'd fuck it up.
