It would be disingenuous of me to not admit the main reason I allowed this story to be pushed to the back of my mind. It’s TOTAL frustration with SO MANY of My Black people doing sh*t that gets them locked up in the fist place. And YES, the recidivism rate among that population is/and has been extremely high for YEARS!

I’m tired y’all. TIRED of ALL the excuses. TIRED of the madness. The definition of insanity is what?

Doing the same d*mn thing (breaking the law) over and over again and expecting a different result!

The truth is, WE put Our very own lives at risk when WE (as individuals) fail to do ALL that we can to stay OUT of jails and prisons in the first place. Doesn’t matter what part of the country you live in.

Those are NOT places where one should, expect to find empathy and *Mercy.*

I agree DJ, the video is “gut-wrenching.” And I’m sorry to admit that my better half had told me about this video a few weeks ago but I Failed to follow-up right away to view it for myself and it got pushed to the back of my mind.

Suffice it to say that an overwhelming majority of County jails and State prisons are natural breeding grounds for all manner of pestilence and especially for viruses that are easily contracted like the Coronavirus. My heart goes out to the incarcerated men and women whose lives are clearly at risk.

And the inmate is also absolutely right in warning Us (the general public) that the risk to PUBLIC health reaches FAR BEYOND the walls of jails and prisons thru prison personnel who unknowingly carry the virus to-and-from those correctional institutions.

The national media, and certainly cable news has NOT paid nearly enough attention to this tragic story. The coverage has been minimal at best IF covered at all.
