Silent March for Docile Negroes


AWAY WITH YOUR SILENT MARCHES, DOCILE NEGROES! The sound of jail bars clanging shut is LOUD. The sound of police gunfire as bullets rip through sick people and unarmed youths is LOUD! The sound of that first shovel of dirt crashing against the coffin of another young black man is something his family will hear forever. Yet blacks marched through New York City too cowardly to make a sound. Stay home next time, docile Negroes.   http://harlemworldmag.com/2012/06/19/salters-scene-rev-sharpton-leads-silent-protest/

A million man march, then a million father march - What does it mean if black men are too cowardly to stand up and demand a society where their children are safe from being snatched from their villages and ENSLAVED for prison profits? Or shot down by police like rabid dogs? What is the voting booth for if not to get representatives who represent your interests? Marissa Alexander was from our village, and she was snatched to spend 20 years imprisoned for a crime that was not a crime - self protection is a RIGHT. Do not expect me to respect 21st century black men who say we must continue to be quiet and expect nothing, demand nothing. I reject that "docile Nig*er" routine. What does it profit to have blacks drive by me in limos and wave while my own income and my children's prospects for economic freedom are diminished daily? Resist oppression, whatever the source!

Anything that directly affects 10 million Americans (prisoners, probationers, and their families) should be addressed by presidential candidates as well as candidates for state and local offices. In fact, high incarceration numbers affect all 350 million Americans because it costs over $50 billion per year to incarcerate 2.3 million people, and prison labor projects are taking our jobs - including former union jobs. This is not just a "black" problem. But even if it were, what is wrong with the president giving attention to an issue that negatively impacts people who gave him 90% of their votes in 2008? Banks, corporations, Hispanics, and gays got theirs. But blacks are portrayed as being outrageous to expect anything of officials we support with our votes, right? I disagree. DEMAND something!

Hector Rodriguez Jailed for Lack of Hospital Space


The 13(thirteen) paragraphs and signature block and 21(twenty) links.  The news story below about Hector Rodriguez illustrates the importance of decriminalizing mental illness in America. The nation's prison rolls are swollen with 1.25million mentally ill Americans (more than half of the nation's 2.3 million inmates). Prison costs in the United States of America are over $50 billion per year. Although jail worsens mental health, especially solitary confinement, no expense is spared in the USA to punish people for actions caused by mental illness. On the other hand, the shortage of mental hospital beds is so critical that there is no room when courts order sick people into treatment rather than sentencing them to prison. Mr. Rodriguez's story is below.

York Daily Record - Oct 23, 2010 - York, PA - www.ydr.com/ci_16416185  Hector Rodriguez is stuck in prison because there s no room at a state mental hospital. His case shows how the system is overloaded.

This summer, Hector Francisco Rodriguez was living in a North York mental health care facility under a court order because his doctors deemed the 19-year-old to be an immediate danger to himself and others.

On Sept. 2, police allege, Rodriguez, mentally disabled and diagnosed with schizophrenia, confirmed the court's fears.  He walked down the hallway of Northwestern Human Services and screamed something threatening, according to court documents. A psychotherapist tried to calm him down, but Rodriguez punched him in the face and struck his hand with a pen, breaking the skin.

When another Northwestern employee opened a locked door to aid the psychotherapist, court records show, Rodriguez fled, first the secured area and then the building. Police arrested him soon after in York's Fireside neighborhood and charged him with aggravated assault, simple assault and escape.

Rodriguez has been in York County Prison ever since, even though a judge ordered more than a month ago that he be sent to a state mental hospital for treatment and evaluation.

His mother is confused and upset. She knows her son needs help, but she's afraid he's not getting it.

"I understand he did something, but it's not because he wanted to do it," Rosemary Ubiles said. "It's because he's sick. Why do you punish someone for having a health condition?" (See the entire article at the link above.)

The answer to Rosemary's question is GREED. With the advent of private prisons and jails (one of America's most prosperous industries), mental health was shifted from the Department of Health to the Department of Corrections.  Not only are mentally ill Americans punished with imprisonment for being sick, but many of them are killed for that reason. Each year, mentally ill Americans are shot or Tasered by police officers. Some die in cruel restraint chairs, and others are beaten to death by jail guards. Acute mental patients are also abused or killed by bullies in their communities who find their mental imbalance entertaining. The United States Department of Justice is charged with upholding the rights of Americans with disabilities and protecting institutionalized persons, but the government agency refuses to do either when it comes to mental patients. See the petition for the USDOJ to please do the job Americans pay taxes for the government agency to do and investigate my brother's SECRET ARREST AND MURDER at this link - http://www.petitiononline.com/Neal/petition.html  - and see the website about my murdered brother at http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/  - Mentally ill people who are black, Hispanic, Asian, or from white families that lack wealth are ordinarily deprived of treatment that could restore many of them to wholesome lives. Instead, they are seemingly reserved untreated to become future prisoners of America after committing some avoidable crime.

Mental illness was criminalized to enrich prison owners and investors. Mentally ill Americans will continue to be imprisoned rather than treated in hospitals and community care programs until enough concerned voters say, "That's enough." One way to do that is to support H.R.619, a federal bill introduced in Congress in January 2009 by Rep. Eddie Johnson (D-TX) to reinstate Medicaid for inpatient treatment in mental hospitals. When Medicaid insurance coverage was removed in the 1970's, many hospitals closed, and closures continue today.  Millions of families are negatively impacted when their sick loved ones are arrested rather than treated for mental illness, but mainstream media refuses to publish any information about this important congressional bill.  Prison owers/investors do not want American voters to know that an affordable, just, humane alternative to criminalizing mental illness is before Congress.  Please see more about H.R.619 at this link:  http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/1438137

The national health reform bill that Congress passed early in 2010 included NO provisions for inpatient mental health insurance.  Depriving sick Americans of inpatient treatment when it is needed insures a continuous shortage of beds in mental health facilities.  Lack of mental health insurance dooms acute mental patients to the revolving door in and out of prisons, which saves taxpayers no money. The lack of mental health care facilities and programs for community care makes society less safe than it could be for patients as well as their families and communities.  The only way for mental patients to become beneficial to prison owners and investors is to wait for them to commit a crime worthy of incarceration.  Many psychiatric patients are imprisoned for minor offenses like vagrancy and panhandling.  But sentencing for worse crimes, such as murder, yields higher profits for prison investors.

Thank you for giving ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL. Please invite your friends to visit our online group, write your representatives about this issue, and read more about victims of the injustice system in my blog.  See the handy index of articles for http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/ at the left margin.  For specific subjects, Google my name with the person or issue, such as "Mary Neal prison" or "Mary Neal Troy Davis" or "Mary Neal Capital Punishment."  I had time to write numerous articles about the injustice system over the last few years while I was a virtual prisoner in my own home for safety.  Security and my freedom of speech and press became problematic issues after I dared to ask Memphis Shelby County Jail and the United States Department of Justice "WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?"

I placed the Rodriguez article at the online group, Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill, at the link below.  I referenced the link at Twitter, but AIMI's whole discussion strand responded to the link rather than the Rodriguez article. This is the link at AIMI where you can view a photograph of Rodriguez with his family http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=17280&pst=955062 -- Problems with my links happen when the cyber censorship staff has been instructed to later delete Internet input I publish to decriminalize mental illness or expose other injustices.  Therefore, I cross-posted the Rodriguez article here at FreeSpeakBlog.  Work to decriminalize mental illness has much interference, just as all human rights advocacy efforts did and still do.  Consider slavery abolitionists, the civil rights movement, women's suffrage, the labor movement, anti-war movement, and others.  Throughout history, individuals and groups that dared to ask their governments to please be fair have been censored, threatened, and some advocates were actually killed.  I experience in-person and online stalking.  Recent threats against my family center around arson.  Note to terrorists:  The records and videos you hope to destroy were long ago copied on tiny flash drives and discs and distributed across America for safekeeping.  Thanks to everyone who prays for me as the founder/director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill and the person who blew the whistle on The Cochran Firm Fraud.  See information and videos about The Cochran Firm Fraud at this link  http://www.nowpublic.com/health/can-law-firms-be-government-agencies-cochran-firm-fraud-w-videos - PLEASE VOTE for H.R.619 at this OpenCongress.org link - http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h619/show

African Americans and Christians First?


Links do not open in a new window. Please read all 24 paragraphs before using any of the 52 links, or use your back arrow to return to http://freespeakblog.blogspotcom/ (the link-count includes those within Twitter posts.) Links to some of the articles I reference are located at the end of this blog. Everything I write is true and documented in public records. There are conspiracies that are not theoretical, but certified. The secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal cover-up is an ongoing conspiracy. As the world turns, I learn about other crimes that are interconnected with my brother's murder cover-up. See some of the stories are in this blog - http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/ - and throughout my articles online. The last paragraph below ends in "I BELIEVE." I really do believe we can do better than homelessness, prison and death for mentally challenged Americans. We can begin by passing H.R. 619 for Medicaid funding for mental hospitalization. If decision makers institute assisted outpatient treatment programs (AOTs) like Kendra's Law for subsistence assistance and mandate psychiatric treatment for acute patients who are discharged from hospitals and prisons plus pass H.R. 619 to increase the nation's psychiatric hospital beds, the nation would completely decriminalize mental illness. But that is not something that everyone wants.

@Twitter @Google Whenever I'm not really on Twitter but stalkers' network, I can't retweet. That's a good test for censored ppl to use - That tweet just sat in my Twitter input field. I discovered that easy method to tell when I am on my cyberstalkers' network as opposed to really being at Twitter. I think it is important to pass such tips along to My Fellow Americans so that you can easily recognize when you are also illegally taken off Internet and put on a censorship team's Intranet. It may never happen unless the government wants to hide the murder of one of your close relatives or you advocate for human rights for prisoners - including prison release for half the inmate population. I am director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI"), advocating to decriminalize mental illness. That online advocacy began after Larry's murder and our realization that 1.25 million other mentally ill Americans like Larry are cruelly imprisoned rather than treated in hospitals or community care programs.

Censorship to hide the Secret Arrest and WRONGFUL DEATH OF LARRY NEAL is fierce. See http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/ - Open this link for the Neal family's Freedom of Information Request to the United States Department of Justice for records and accountability regarding Larry's murder and the cover-up that was facilitated by The Johnnie Cochran Firm on behalf of Memphis Shelby County Jail, county officials, and the USDOJ: Denied FOIA request - http://bit.ly/9K459N . Despite the president's executive order in January 2009 about "transparency in government," that is one FOIA request the DOJ refuses to answer. I must say that I am disappointed, especially with Attorney General Holder being a black man. Of course, there has been an "ELITE INTEGRATION," which is the title of the next article in this blog. I also penned a poem with that title, and it is featured in the article.

Congratulations to Judge Kevin Fine of USDC 177th Dist., Houston, Texas. Judge Fine declared the death penalty unconstitutional. He had the courage to do so in the state that leads the Union in executions. Hopefully, Judge Fine realizes that our "authoratives" (no, I did not mean "authorities") engage in many unconstitutional activities all the time, and killing people is probably a favorite. Although condemned men are executed at a brisk rate in Texas and other mostly Southern states for murders, proved or unproved, the authoratives flat refuse to answer how they murdered Larry Neal, a harmless, lifelong schizophrenic heart patient who aggravated police with his loud singing and occasional panhandling on the streets of Memphis. Forbes recently pronounced Memphis the third most miserable city in the USA, but Forbes owes an apology to the two cities that precede Memphis on its list.

I am cybercensored, persecuted, gangstalked, threatened, and endangered because I refuse to join in the cover-up regarding my brother's murder by withholding further reports to We the People regarding his secret arrest and death. I am punished for not being like mainstream media and simply ignore the fact that after Larry's death when we sued The Cochran Firm for defrauding Larry's family to protect the jail, The Cochran Firm was allowed by the court to disclaim having a Georgia office (that is where our lawsuit was served). That is the basis under which our lawsuit was dismissed by Georgia Superior Court (superior to all African Americans and all mentally ill people and their families). One conspiracy leads to another when it comes to hiding murders. In fact, authoratives work so hard and spend so much money on cyberstalkers and "citizens police" to keep Larry's 2003 jail death secret in a facility that was under DOJ overview that I had to ask this question: WERE BLACK MENTAL PATIENTS USED FOR WATERBOARDING PRACTICE? http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/prisons_prisoners/news.php?q=1262891347 - Several of Larry's family members have been harassed and followed to prevent our justice quest regarding Larry's secret arrest and murder and The Cochran Firm Fraud. Listen to this Blogtalk Radio interview wherein I discuss one particularly frightening night: Mary Neal's Oct. 11, 2009 interview on Rev. Pinkney's Blogtalk Radio Show http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Rev-Pinkney/2009/10/11/MARY-NEAL-A-WARRIOR

The flagrant violations against my Constitutional rights that are done to hide Larry's murder cover-up are probably atypical. Whenever possible, authoratives get around direct attacks against citizens' rights by enacting laws that supercede the rights that Americans supposedly have. For instance, in one of my illegally censored articles this week I reported that Georgia legislators enacted a law in 2006 that erased the right to trial by jury for crime victims and their survivors. Police officers or rich, well-connected Georgians can possibly kill citizens, be indicted for murder, then the presiding judge can dismiss their murder charges without jury trials. Whether such cases proceed to jury trial is up to the judge's discretion as long as the defendants plead self-defense like most police officers do when they shoot citizens. That law disposes of the right to trial by jury for victims. I learned about it when the murder charges against an officer were dismissed without jury trial this week in the 2002 shooting death of an African American teen, Corey Ward. That particular article is probably censored heavily because I mentioned the Troy Davis case and described my family's commonality with him regarding Georgia courts' refusal to grant jury trials in certain cases - especially when one has an abundance of evidence and authoratives do not wish for the plaintiff or defendant (whichever the case may be) to win. That brings us to another tweet I had trouble posting yesterday. It shows up on my profile page at Twitter now, but I will have to check with my followers to see if they actually saw it post. I never saw it post on my "home" page view. I wrote:

If AfAm sick ppl don't have the rights of pit bulls around here, don't hide it. Just come right out and say so. I am. http://bit.ly/9K459N (Michael Vick was investigated, prosecuted, sentenced, bankrupted, and fired for pit bulls, but we cannot get any accountability whatsoever for Larry Neal's secret arrest and murder. I disagree that my brother and our mother who gave him birth are less than dogs. Many people from all over the world agree with me on our petitions at my Google profile page - http://Google.com/profiles/marylovesjustice )

For about an hour on March 5, I was actually on Twitter. I could see tweets by people I follow posting rapidly. It was an amazing sight. Ordinarily, I only see my own. And some of my own tweets do not actually show on my home page view, like the one above, but they appear on my profile page view. Are they also skipping the "home" view for my followers? Cyberstalking would probably make more sense if people did not have video cameras to record illegal First Amendment attacks on citizens who only want to get accountability for their relatives' deaths in secret government custody.

I never would have thought I had the right to peacefully assemble online with other people and advocate for the government to stop discriminating against mentally ill people like Larry if authoratives had not decreed that my classmates and I say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. That message of freedom being indoctrinated into people who are intended to be slaves is counterproductive to authoratives' ultimate goal, although it is undoubtedly useful to instill the fallacy of "inclusion" into all citizens to keep us paying taxes and sending sons and daughters marching off to wars (supposedly to protect human rights in foreign lands). Freedom of assembly is another of the rights that members of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill are denied by censorship. People cannot assemble online if their emails do not get past their kitchen ceilings and articles they write are deleted or blacked out in parts, or if their links are disconnected from the material they are supposed to link to, can they? Danielle is advocating for her brother Nick, and now her computer is acting "funny." She wrote about it at this link: http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/1411119 - Authoratives simply do not care to hear AIMI members' petition for a redress of grievances about the government cruelly imprisoning (or killing) sick people who need psychiatric care and not prison cells, and neither do authoratives want AIMI members to amass support from other people who are not sociopathic enough to believe that mentally ill people deserve torture and extermination.

It is permitted for Americans to gather for a church bake sale and use the Internet to discuss what stars wore to the Grammy Awards, but not to advocate for an end to the death penalty, excessive sentencing, wrongful convictions, trying children as adults, and most of all - decriminalizing mental illness. All of those advocacies threaten profits by private prisons, and many of our authoratives are well represented among prison investors. Removing a man from jail or giving him the skills, education, or psychiatric treatment he needs to avoid recidivism is to directly and negatively impact authoratives' personal incomes. Condemned inmates are best for prison investors. According to the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC), states (taxpayers) pay an extra $90,000 per year for warehousing condemned people. (I hope you did not think it was mercy that made authoratives keep them alive for 20 years after being sentenced to execution.)

I noticed that my most fierce censorship happens when I try to connect with other Christians to ask support for incarcerated mental patients in obedience to Matthew 25:40 and Hebrews 13:3. I used to comment on TheRoot21, but now I reach a graphic design of a big door with a lock on it when I log in there. That happened after I commented on Michael Vick's punishment and posted my poem, Dog Justice. I got a DoS when I tried to register at Black Christian News Network 1 at http://www.blackchristiannews.com/ . Authoratives do not want African American Christians knowing anything about lynchings happening that are allowed or facilitated by the government (authoratives refuse to say which). In fact, I am usually prevented from posting tweets or sending emails to Christians and African American groups or prisoner activist groups, especially at YahooGroups where I joined so many. I suppose Christians are not to know how much the New World Order has already eroded American freedoms, and African Americans are intended to remain adoring toward an administration that actually allows lynching without accountability for Larry Neal, one of our weakest members. Authoratives do not wish African American groups to get reminded that 1 in 9 young black men remains incarcerated and 1 in 15 of all adult black citizens in the land of the free. America has more prisoners than any nation in world history, and two-thirds of them were sentenced (often excessively) for non-violent offenses. Significant reductions in prison rolls and accountability for Larry Neal's murder are not perceived as being reasonable requests by authoratives.

Prison releases that are discussed or done to relieve states' budgets usually involve older prisoners, including murderers, rather than young men and women who were sentenced for nonviolent crimes. Young, nonviolent inmates are the best type for prison laborers (slaves). Apologies for slavery are intended to suffice for African Americans, although slavery only moved behind prison walls along with 2.3 million people and many of our jobs. See my highly censored video on YouTube, which cyberdogs tried to prevent me from uploading (or seeing when they disable it) by repeatedly deleting Adobe Flash from my home PCs - Cybercensorship video: "PRISON LABOR PROFITS." I have a library of videos that captured such illegal censorship over a couple of years long. I recognized that Americans who are raised on apple pie and promises of inclusion would need proof of what we face. I never would have believe it myself, except that Larry's murder cover-up by authoratives was my "red pill." I wrote about that to the 9/11 Truth Organization this week in another censored article in my Care2 Sharebook, a link to which is available below.

I mentioned African Americans several times in this article although the same problems affect us all. Most of the members of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill are Caucasians, and they face the same problems as every other family does when their loved ones are criminalized for mental illness. See a heartfelt plea for help by Danielle for her brother Nick at this link: http://bit.ly/9330ZW (see the second comment). AIMI's members and supporters are all races and religions, and many are atheists. Everyone is welcome, because an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere (MLK). However, problems within a social structure affect those at the lower socio-economic level sooner and more severely than others. Then it spreads. Ask Germans who lived in pre-WWII Germany or visit the Jewish Virtual Library online. See another article in this blog entitled, "Nazi Extermination of the Mentally Ill in Germany and the USA" for memos between Nazi officers regarding the extermination of sick citizens, Jewish and non-Jewish alike. White Americans are actually more represented among the 1.25 million sick citizens warehoused in prison than other racial groups. Middle-class and poor families of all races and ethnicities lack funds for private hospitals or $150 per hour psychiatric office visits.

It is estimated that 1 in 5 Americans has mental illness, and many famous, intelligent, talented people are in that number. As the economy worsens, more people than ever are experiencing mental health problems, and more families are crossing the poverty line - backwards. Of course, our authoratives know that. That is probably why cyberstalkers attack my attempts to alert the public to H.R. 619, Rep. Eddie Johnson's bill to resume Medicaid funding for psychiatric inpatients. Authoratives who are also prison investors mean to keep their sick inmates. Acute patients who are usually punished with solitary confinement torture are worth even more than inmates in the general prison population. Thank God that most of our representatives are not prison profiteers. The 111th Congress currently has 177 bills pending that would help address mental health issues, but none as effective as one bill that attacks the root of evil - H.R. 619. Funding for mental health care should not be overlooked while the nation contemplates national health care, especially since treatment is cheaper, more humane, and safer for communities than imprisoning people after avoidable crimes. Most congressional bills never reach the floor for a vote. Please call or write your representatives and ask them to support H.R. 619.

REFERENCES and TWEETS

@DavidPaulDoyle I asked #God why justice denied re Larry Neal's murder. He replied, "This ain't just about Larry." Then I saw 1.25 million!

Regarding our lawsuit against The Cochran Firm for defrauding us after Larry's death which Georgia Superior Court dismissed by falsely claiming there is no Cochran Firm office in Georgia, and USDC dismissed and ruled that defrauding my family was "immaterial," I wrote the following poem:

Rabbit Hole, by Mary Neal (all rights reserved)
I stumbled down a rabbit hole
Thought there I would find gold
Instead there were people to help
From lonely dungeons where they were kept.


It is gratifying to see that mentally challenged people and their relatives and next friends are finally beginning to understand that Americans with mental disabilities are discriminated against by withholding treatment and support that people with physical disabilities have. Psychiatric patients must stop being preserved in their untreated states to boost prison rolls. Ohio inmates filed a class action lawsuit. I hope it is only the beginning. God said, "Let my people go." I remind authoratives of that through the microphone on my PC, which they illegally use to listen into my home. That is how gangstalkers know when to send cars and USDOT trucks to follow me. Tweets continue below:

After I escaped a USDOT truck on September 27, 2008, and mostly stayed home for safety since, NEW neighbors moved in across the street from our home, and a USDOT truck made deliveries there - an 18-wheeler. They probably want us to know who they are and why they came. If you have neighbors the DOT helped to move in, let me know and put our minds at ease, please. Incidentally, most co-sponsors for H.R.645 are on the Transportation Committee in Congress. Railroad improvements are planned, which I do not find surprising in the least.

You can find links to my social networks and other articles as well as my profile at Google Profile Mary Neal - http://www.google.com/profiles/MaryLovesJustice. People who donate to the advocacy to decriminalize mental illness and get justice for Larry Neal can do so by writing us at MaryLovesJustice, P.O. Box 153, Redan, GA 30074-0153. Request a CD filled with many examples of my cybercensorship and cyberterror, like the coffin ad that appears at my Google profile page. It is very disturbing, as they intend, to be sent threatening ads in emails, etc., however, In God We Trust.

Authoratives have evidently decided that I am completely out of line to expect records and accountability for Larry's secret arrest and murder. They are apparently so prejudice against Americans with mental disabilities that they cannot concieve of why Larry's death should matter to his family. Perhaps they expected a thank-you note or a check, like a vet who puts down a pet. I received notice that I have even been whitelisted for asking WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL and requesting that acute mental patients like Larry be treated in hospitals and community care programs rather than relegated to 9' x 6' isolation cells for months or years, naked, sick, and imprisoned. As dangerous as it seems to be to disappoint the authoratives, I must obey my Father. He said we will be judged by how we treat the least of these, His brethren. Matthew 25:36 specifically refers to sick, naked prisoners. Other inmates have orange jumpsuits, I BELIEVE.

Prisons vs Education, by Dr. Steven Jones


I frequently write about PRISONS vs. HOSPITALS AND OUTPATIENT TREATMENT for the mentally ill. The article by Dr. Steven Jones that I share with you regards another important area that suffers from the nation's huge prison budget, called "PRISONS vs. EDUCATION."

The truth is that prison profiteers put PRISONS BEFORE ALL ELSE. It is their cash cow and the black hole for many of your tax dollars. Unfortunately, many of our decision makers are themselves prison owners and investors. When prison profiteers decide how tax money should be spent, rest assured that more and bigger prisons is choice no. 1. At the same time, YOUR tax dollars must be withheld from education and programs that provide jobs and recreation for our youth, mental health care, outpatient supervision for the mentally ill, drug addiction therapy, and prisoner rehabilitation services, because those programs REDUCE the number of people going to prison and combat recidivism.

In addition to public funds for prisons, profiteers earn significant profits from prison labor projects. If you would like to know where many jobs went in this country, check the prisons. Therefore, everything that diverts people from prison threatens prison profiteers' financial gains. There is much debate regarding prison labor projects. The Center for Research on Globalization carried an article by Vickie Palaez published on March 10, 2008, which stated:

According to the Left Business Observer, the federal prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, ID tags, shirts, pants, tents, bags, and canteens [therefore, war helps prison owners and investors]. Along with war supplies, prison workers supply 98% of the entire market for equipment assembly services; 93% of paints and paintbrushes; 92% of stove assembly; 46% of body armor; 36% of home appliances; 30% of headphones/microphones/speakers; and 21% of office furniture. Airplane parts, medical supplies, and much more: prisoners are even raising seeing-eye dogs for blind people. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8289

(Emphasis added) See the link above for the entire article.

Around 2.3 million people are imprisoned in America right now, including 1.25 million mentally ill persons who should be in treatment instead. Also, be aware that 2/3 of those in prison were sentenced for NONVIOLENT crimes. Nonviolent inmates make the best slaves and are in demand for many prisoner work projects.

Below is the article by Dr. Jones:

PRISONS VS. EDUCATION: WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
by Dr. Stephen Jones

According to the "Philadelphia Inquirer" newspaper Pennsylvania intends to build four new prisons for 800 million dollars. Did you know that it also takes $50,000 a year to house a prisoner? Reading this was upsetting because it was so easy to build four new prisons. Governor Rendell had spent three months trying to get the state budget passed because he refused to put education on the chopping block. The State of Pennsylvania could educate 5 children rather than put one man or woman in prison. It seems like our country's priorities are all twisted. Other countries are investing in education and they are experiencing expansion while America is in a state of decline.

Pennsylvania was not the only state to assess its commitment to education. Students in California and other states are experiencing overcrowded classes, and bus services have been cut. Students don't vote so they are an easy target for budget cuts. The majority of children in the United States need a better education than they are experiencing right know. Filling prisons is not the solution to our problem. Too many prisoners are high school drop outs. In fact they need an education if they are to change their circumstances and not return to prison after they are released.

When is this country going to face the reality that a major solution to our economic crisis is right in our own communities? There are children who need access to better instruction and they need parents who are not in a prison cell. Too many grandparents are raising children because they have no choice. It is difficult for grandparents to provide the resources and guidance that growing teenagers need. Parents need to play an active role in their child's education at all K-12 levels.

Expanding prisons is not the solution to the economic crisis. A prison my generate jobs but it does not compare to what a well educated entrepreneur can do. We need to choose business development and job creation in areas where jobs have been depleted. Why not build new schools with modern technology that will lead to more sophisticated instruction and students who are prepared to succeed in college? Many of the schools in Philadelphia are over 50 years old, and the maintenance expenses are unreasonable. These old buildings are not the best places for students to learn.

It's time to make education a priority in every state. If we continue to fill our prisons with perfectly healthy young men and women, we are becoming our own worst enemy. There is a tremendous amount of talent that is sitting in a cell and wasting away. Changing a young person's potential to end up in prison starts at birth. Children need to develop an early passion for reading and learning. Parents can be a major part of the solution. The future is within our grasp and we need to say no to prisons and yes to education.

Call or email your representatives and demand that treatment replace prisons for mentally ill people in your state. Request that more money be appropriated for education and recreation for our youth, jail diversion programs, and rehabilitation for inmates. Be reminded that 90% of inmates have a release date in their future, and they will again become our neighbors. Promote their success and reduce crime and recidivism by creating and strengthening programs that prepare them for re-entry into society. (Hebrew 13:3)

The good news is that progress toward prison reform is already being made to a limited degree. Despise not the day of small beginnings. Changes are taking place, and we need to report them with equal zeal. To find out what happened lately to promote positive changes in several justice quests, I invite you to please visit my HubPages, where I report all good news for justice and congratulate the individuals, organizations, agencies, and police officers involved: http://hubpages.com/hub/StepsTowardJusticeHub3

Come back frequently and access more articles in this blog. Fresh material is added almost daily, and much valuable information was published in previous work. Thanks for your interest!
