caught this link first thing, been scrolling through this all day as I work and still not halfway done. The data is mind boggling.

As a small example of how prison is normalized in the US, take the prison genre on youtube and think about how this is an actual thing. Was just talking to my man last night who started his own prison stories channel a few weeks back. We were sharing channels that are out there, there's a good amount out there from a lot of perspectives. Cool that some people are able to capitalize, and most of them have positive messages, but the fact that people are side-hustling like that is pretty nuts.
