Disaffected and it Feels So Good: From Black to White, the changing face of Drug Addiction and Punishment

Good takedown of the Prison Industrial Complex -- mass incarceration, War on Drugs, etc. -- and its racist/Plutocratic motives. Another example is the Virginia governor's restoration of voting rights to felons who have finished their sentences and paid their debts. Republicans have gone into a mass pantytwist over the thought of 200,000 ex-convicts -- swarthy, poor, icky -- being allowed to vote.
Tom Harper, good to see you again. I also noted that Mississippi is undergoing budget shortfalls requiring massive budget cuts because their prison population is down. And those prisoners had been used as slave labor gangs as well as providing a subsidy for local municipalities.
Of course, now that they have a Bathroom Bigotry Law in place, the Conservatives will just start rounding up the LGBTQ members of society, incarcerating them, and seizing their assets.
