I think I may have gotten that from Angela Davis' Are Prisons Obsolete

Anyway, I remember reading about Euros moving toward occupational therapy models...and it was working
Then Nixon happened and we decided to lock errybody up
That is to say, ignoring the science and enacting legislation based on tropes
Doesn't absolve the mistake
IRT Kamala, didn't she take office in 2002?
Mass incarceration was already an issue by that time
I'm not sure a Black/AA woman can be given a pass on the subject.. let alone in the 21st century.
