This is what happens when you arrest people unfairly. You lose their potential talent and hinder the development of society.

Great talk. So many people imprisoned for being poor. They need to be helped, not imprisoned so someone else can become super rich by running a bunch of prisons.
How many people currently in US’s prisons would not have been there if they had the chance to grow up with at least the basics of access to a safe home, good food and a good school.

A person’s true character can only be realized in an environment where they have every opportunity to become their best self. For the same reason that no one knows the depravity within their own heart until they have been pushed to their limits, no one knows the potential good that can come from a person if they have been loved to their limits.

@Jeremy Powell Just because you are rich doesn’t mean you were raised well. On the contrary, rich people often had terrible parents who worked too much and neglected them.

@Herji kolbrúnarson Children in the Oklahoma Foster system were placed there for non crimes,. Poverty, religion choice, Homeschooling,… And not one child is above the poverty line,. Rich kids have free reign,. all the resources, and the worst Choices, Just because they weren’t hugged doesn’t mean they have a mental illness

How about the creativity, ingenuity and innovation languishing from black women and girls who are neglected, ignored and scapegoated by their own community.
