I've heard counter-facts (from some black leaders in the U.S.) that the prisons aren't filled with primarily non-violent drug offenders, largely because release programs don't keep them for very long given the bursting-at-the-seams prison population and they're the first to be let out.

So the notion that U.S. prisons are simply filled with non-violent drug offenders could well be an unfounded wives' tale that people keep repeating as if it's fact.

Regardless, there's a misinformation war in place which basically clouds a lot of any useful discussion about race, poverty, and incarceration in America.

Black, white or purple. We put way too many people in prison. But it's a lucrative business so what can you do?

Nah, yo. Drug trade is lucrative, but its high risk. I'm referring to the business of prisons.

Da Prison Industrial Complex, yo! Lock 'em up and keep dem occupancy rates to da max, A.

High risk doesn't mean anything if it's still the second most lucrative business worldwide after petroleum. Sorry, had to point it.

It's really hard to be a good drug dealer. Better to just invest in private prisons.

swag, will get back to your post if you want but I'm starting to find that event very insignificant; wouldn't be surprised if either it was the same for you or if you just don't even care for my reply anyways. I understand your point, I hope you understand mine even if you might not agree with it.

Also, drug trade is high risk. Look at Freeway Rick Ross. He lost everything and now some fat guy has his name.

Nah, it's cool. We good.

If prisons weren't lucrative, they wouldn't be privately owned. As Aaron said, we put way too many people in there.
