It couldn't be that blacks from 15-25 are making up more than half of the robbery/murder (per fbi stats) while making up 3% of the pop. Nah, probably just racism.

Imprisonment is not a legitimate form of "justice", in fact it's not justice at all. Justice functions to "make whole" those who are wrong. The only legitimate "crimes" prosecuted have actual victims, and the only just consequence is one that addresses what happened to that victim. The whole function of imprisonment is to AVOID actual justice, allowing the rulers to punish people unjustly. The punishment is not connected to actual victims.

[@beacarr9652]

The penal system is about punishment for crimes. The "justice" part is getting your day in court with attorney representation. The prison system was never designed to provide vocational training, psychological therapy, etc = it is for punishment (ie= doing time for the crime).

What's a private prison all I know is city state and federal prison. How do you end up in a private prison?

[@acetate909]

Private prisons are growing faster than government funded prisons. And what's even more crazy is that many politicians who write the laws also own stock in private prisons. America has more people in prison than any other country in the world, including China and India which have populations 3× bigger. America, home of the free?

[@Qnzdipset1]

@acetate909 right everybody says that. My question is how do you end up in a private prison.

[@acetate909]

@@Qnzdipset1 It's random. Depends on what state and city you live in. There's no official sentence for a crime that gets one sentenced to a private prison. Just unlucky I guess, because as you'd expect private prisons pinch every penny and are significantly worse than state prisons.

[@RobertF-]

I really respect Mr. Cube for acknowledging the truth that not all but a lot of hip hop music glorifies criminal and violent mentalities that can lead to brainwashing young people who listen to it which leads to some of them getting in trouble with the law and ending up in prison. It's secondary whether some music executives are directly pushing for that because they have investments in private prisons. There are plenty of rappers who are all too eager to make music like that, and they don't need any pushing from anyone else to want to focus on that. Mr. Cube himself used to be like that and he has made tons of music like that, and it's fair to guess that there are people who ended up imprisoned or who are still in prison in part because of his music having had an effect on influencing and hypnotizing them to want to be involved with illegal and violent activities. Mr. Cube should really focus more on this realization that he has had, and he should really try to use his influence as much as possible to make things in hip hop music more positive.
