I find this series a dramatic, but the somewhat realistic presentation of life in prison in the United States but a big problem I don’t understand is that with this depiction of the prison system, solitary confinement is used to further punish inmates for altercations that leave someone wounded or even killed. Browder’s case was continually pushed aside from judge to judge’s desk because he continuously stood firm in his truth that he should not be punished for a crime he did not commit. But we continue the tradition to this day and force prisoners, who are already locked away in cells, out of control of their own actions (when to eat, defecate, etc) taking away the last thing they have. But, in this sense, because we all seem to agree that the best possible solution to criminal activity is to take away someone’s right to seeing other people, or the larger population it is ok, and then after proving they change if they do manage to survive their sentence, or are approved for parole, they are stripped of their right to vote (in some states), and it is extremely difficult to obtain a job because of a question a lot of employers ask on applications.

A person who is already financially challenged finds it difficult to buy black-owned products or services because the overwhelming narrative around products offered stems from a basic humane way of supporting people who look like you. The philosophy of buying black is to support people of color by engaging in business with them instead of going to white people, because your money, when spent at big corporations, or even just not black-owned will eventually contribute to a bigger gap in wealth, not favoring black people. What I am left with, is the guilt of not being able to afford to support people who look like me. Promote small businesses built by people of color, the word must be heard about people of color who create anything anyone would want to buy.

My name is Liz and I am 22 years old, from Brooklyn NY. I started this blog to talk about things that happen today, already happened, analyze TV shows and historical events through different lenses, fashion and other topics that interest me. but I am interested in writing histories and analyzing fictional/non fictional events through various lenses. YOUR SHIT will be a place for constructive thoughts on society, politics and the world.
