Blacks who jaywalk must make our license plates, repair our vehicles and maintain our roads. It’s not slavery they broke the law, officer White said he saw it
>>16885498It's bad to send someone to prison unless the person deserves to go to prison. The same logic was applied to slavery.
>>16885537>>16885562>>16885565Work is voluntary for prisoners, retards. They get change to buy candies, learn a trade and get to occupy themselves for a while IF THEY WANT. This is common in western prisons.
