"why don't rich people go prison?"
Sat Feb-21-15 06:08 PM by Joe Corn Mo

  

          

if people that are poor were to stop committing crime forever,
would cops stop arresting poor people?

I am wondering if a narrative about the criminal justice system
being used to monitor, marginalize, and incarcerate poor people
would go over better than a narrative
about mass incarnation based on race.



also...

I am wondering if people actually think that rich people commit less crimes
than poor people.
