TheVoiceOfJoyce Prison Gerrymandering is worse than you think! If prisoners are counted as citizens of the rural areas where they are incarcerated, these areas get greater representation in Congress. No wonder States are loathe to pass prison reforms. Whoever incarcerates the most, gets more money. Hence, our harsh treatment of prisoners, our rates of recidivism, all designed to maintain a balance of power and crush Human rights, a person’s dignity and justice. It’s absurd. Prisoners, if they’re lucky will go back to their home states. Those states have no money for them? We’ve created our own dilemma. Prisoners should be counted as citizens of their original states unless they declare in writing, they’ll reside in their state of incarceration. Further, politics has now become an incentive to treat prisoners in humanely. They’re only bodies to be counted. This explains our Prison system. It’s designed to be harsh, when Decency Pays. Only changing these Laws, will change racial inequality and racial justice.
