and alot of ppl have corrupt cops, corrupt court cases, corrupt guards, racist would be employers, etc etc where they end up in jail and are innocent.
another things the jails do is have slavery or work and theyre paid way below min wage. the prisoners get gouged on supplies which should be free and end up in debt. if theyre released, theyre in debt, and if they end up in prison again bc they dont pay the debt. they have problems getting a job bc of criminal record; not to mention the jobs are poorly paid
