I mean, the only parts of Amerika that live better than the pen are the gateds on the coasts, and the former plantations; so I don't know what you're going on about there... I categorically refuse to denounce homeboy's defection unless it comes out he was wanted for like-- sex crimes or smth. In which case, light him up on sight.

This is really underestimating how bad U.S. prisons are, and while god damn America and all, it's still a country with a high standard of living for most people.

We have to be in touch with the actual material conditions of people, and "only a few places are better than federal custody" just isn't that.
