our incarcerated nation

I couldn't not write about this one. Or at least post the link.


Justice and retribution and revenge have a troubling past and present in our country. From the unlawful lynching used as both a means to terrorize and remove property or just to keep us in our place.

That we spend more money on jails than schools, that we sentence children to jail for life, that we selectively decide who should be held accountable and who should not... all of these are reasons why I feel we might need to rename our "justice" system.

Contenders:
The injustice system
Retribution and Revenge for People We Don't Like
We'll Tell your Worth Masquerading as Justice
We Won't Pay for You to Go to College, but We Will Pay for your Incarceration
Magna Carta? Human Rights? What's That?!

and more indignant phrases...

Send in your suggestions.
