Albert Woodfox: 41 Years in Solitary Unjustly
One of this writer’s earliest articles was titled “The US Gulag Prison System: The Shame of the Nation and Crime Against Humanity”.
Around half of all inmates are incarcerated for nonviolent offenses. Half of those are drug related, mostly simple possession. Just societies call these offenses misdemeanors, punishable by warnings and/or small fines. Imprisonments are rare and never long term.
America’s gulag is world’s largest, one of its harshest. Blacks and Latinos suffer most. So do Muslims. Guilty of being in America at the wrong time. Scapegoated unjustly.
