a big part of like government policy is that you want to get it.
It's criminal justice system.
You are a fucking number.
You are not a person.
And it's like, if you are going, and I'm not talking about like a crime of violence where somebody has, you know, interfered with the rights of someone else.
Okay.
They need to be incapacitated.
But that's, yeah, that's, that's, yeah, it's a complete opposite versus someone who's selling, um,
who's using drugs versus someone who was 22 years old on the fucking Dean's list at their school about to go to fucking law school.
And it was their first fucking felony.
And they got caught with a kilo of cocaine.
You know what I mean?
It's just like, I'm sorry, but I did five and a half years in prison at 22 years old.
And there is not one person who didn't use drugs as a result of my incarceration.
You know what I mean?
And I've said this.
If you could just show me one fucking person whose life was positively impacted by my incarceration at 22 years old, I would be like, you know what?
I'm glad I fucking went.
yeah and so that's the problem yeah and especially with drugs too it's that there's a demand for the crime there's not a demand for the murder that you commit there's not a demand for the rape that you commit so if you go to prison there's no demand but if there's a demand for my product and you incarcerate me the only thing you've done is put someone in my shoes or the person down the street you just doubled their business yeah that's the only thing you fucking did yeah so
I guess the only thing is, I want to ask you a question.
