So there's nothing else there . So the prison is the driving force behind the economy . So everyone's there , right ?
Way upstate in , uh , in some , uh , towns that are essentially , you know , some , you know , a lot of , a lot of racism is pervasive in those towns . And the prison is the , uh , it's the only , uh , economic development in that town . So you got brother , cousins , aunts and uncles working in the same prison .
So you get into an incident with one officer , you got a problem with the entire system and that's just how it is when you go deeper upstate , I mean , borderline Canada , you know , Clinton down in M and Great Meadows and different prisons like that . So , and the economy of the area depends , depends upon the prison because there's really nothing there but snow during the wintertime and farming . So there's nothing else there .
Um , there's a saying they say you build it , they're going to come , that's the same thing with prisons , you build them , they're going to come similar to , uh , the 1994 crime bill that was signed by , uh , Bill Clinton and authored co-authored by our now President Joe Biden . Um , and incarcerated more people across the country than in any other time , right ? I I it perpetuated the three strikes .
Not just a prosecutor or a court , but finding a system that was premised on um you know , ooooo oppression , right ? I was premised on it's a business , a prison , industrial complex . You got cheap labor .
