This piece from Carroll Bogert& #39;s and Lynell Hancock& #39;s on the history of the Superpredator epithet should remind journalists how the tone and language in our stories shape public sentiment on crime and punishment https://twitter.com/MarshallProj/status/1329765124178108417">https://twitter.com/MarshallP...
Stinging language aside, many morally misguided young men are in prison—I observe them, listen to them—and I hardly ever see well paid corrections administrators trying to help them. They don& #39;t even say hello. That should bother you. #DEFUNDCORRECTIONS
We& #39;re so disconnected in here. My peers don& #39;t realize that so many of you care out there, that journalists themselves are reckoning with the part they played. A colleague spent $2 sending me that article over J Pay.
Point is, we in here don& #39;t engage in conversations or read stories done about us in prison; the compassionate and progressive ideals discussed on panels are not being implemented in prisons.
