I Think That Has To Do With

The De Industrialization Of The Us. Economy Based On The Migration Of Corporations Into Third World Areas Where Labor Is Very Cheap And Thus More Profitable For These Companies Creates On The One Hand Conditions In Those Countries That Encourage People To Emigrate To The Us. In Search Of A Better Life. On The Other Hand, It Creates Conditions Here That Send More Black People Into The Alternative Economies, The Drug Economies, Women Into Economies In Sexual Services, And Sends Them Into The Prison Industrial Complex.

Prisons Do Not Disappear Social Problems, They Disappear Human Beings. Homelessness, Unemployment, Drug Addiction, Mental Illness, And Illiteracy Are Only A Few Of The Problems That Disappear From Public View When The Human Beings Contending With Them Are Relegated To Cages.

Because It Would Be Too Agonizing To Cope With The Possibility That Anyone, Including Our­ Selves, Could Become A Prisoner, We Tend To Think Of The Prison As Disconnected From Our Own Lives. This Is Even True For Some Of Us, Women As Well As Men, Who Have Already Experienced Imprisonment.

Radical Simply Means 'grasping Things At The Root.'

It Is Important Not Only To Have The Awareness And To Feel Impelled To Become Involved, It's Important That There Be A Forum Out There To Which One Can Relate, An Organization- A Movement.
