Years ago. That was me. Who led to.

After years of political activity Calvin Johnson became the first black judge in louisiana. Hes often dealt with sheriffs. Words i can use to to describe what i feel about that. But then you would have to cut those words out of this interview. Because lavery had indeed the way to keep people in slavery was to use the Justice System and they fix laws such that the newly freed people formalistic would be put back in jail and then be forced to go back on the plantations and work its not that they are. A mean people of bad people or its its that they are as much a a for lack of a better word victim of the system as the people who are in the jails of victims of the system because we are a poor state and we have used all kinds of means always to to fund our sales so the sheriff in those places are using that as a means to fund.

They would sell my hate would probably wouldnt even be in their spinal fluid build up my spine or column got up from my brain cavity pushed my brain open was pushing forward on the trying to push it through my face. As i reminded it was about to pop out of sockets the piece of the optic nerve on the back side as im permanently damaged. Was in the hospital in they tell me that i was a job the positive. Told and they must have somebody elses records confused with mine because im not positive and they said yes you are. Im. Here. For you therefore everything. Nothing oh yeah come on laugh and.

Meaning that we would receive a certain amount from the city which supplies our budgie for the state when we had stayed in maids of so many dollars per inmate. That system we no longer use we received a budget just like many other agencies too and so we must operate within that budget to. Take care of all of our operations here under the ost system there was an incentive to have more inmates because the more you have the more money to get. Outdated and inhumane.
