  1. i was thinking the same thing tbh. it could 100% happen . and it had happened . i pray no one is in that unfortunate situation . I feel like they naming prison "angola" is shade lol! like they gave it an african nation's name. But they ain't named it Dachau or Blitzkrieg , or even Deutschland SMH !

  2. Bailee, the video isn't telling you that all committed murder and even then its not always telling that it was intentional. and its true that some bank robbers and most drug dealers are lifers also. You need to pay attention.

  11. Chico, ain't the part of the vicious cycle you think of. I served 17 years and 4 months ,. rotary phone was still a thing i walked into fully digitized world after that. felt seamless to me as i could function . but the toxic part about getting out is that you are not being pardoned, meaning your records can and will be held against you. Couldn't rent an apartment, jobs denied and about 10 more amenities you take for granted i was denied access to. Had i not had a place to go to. i would have had more limited choices to survive. and i would have had to do something about it. Reality after prison is a heck lot more nuanced and complex than ppl think. The system creates the vicious cycle.
