Arizona prison officials won't let inmates read book that critiques the criminal justice system

Arizona prison officials have banned inmates from reading "Chokehold," a critically-acclaimed critique of the American criminal-justice system.

That makes sense. If the inmates knew all about the for profit prison system and back door slavery they’d be very enraged about it.

The book is “Chokehold,” by Paul Butler, a former Washington DC prosecutor who wrote it after being wrongly arrested. From the article:

Butler, who is African-American, wrote the book after he was arrested on false assault allegations, an event that dramatically changed his view of the justice system.

“During the trial, I experienced for myself a lot of things that defendants I’d prosecuted said were evidence of how unfair the system was: Police lied, witnesses who knew what happened didn’t come forward,” Butler told The Guardian in 2017.

“The jury took less than 10 minutes to acquit me,” he said, because “I could afford the best lawyer in the city, had legal skills and social standing, and because I was innocent.

“But the experience made a man out of me. It made a black man out of me.”

According to the article they also banned one of Maya Angelou’s book too.

So I’m guessing that the officials want to keep them 100% imprisoned, physically and mentally.

So excited to announce that I’ll be at Playgrounds In Motion in London next month! This event will take place on September 8-9. I’ll be having a conversation with Izzy Burton on stage, and of course I’ll be signing books too! 

Also, did you know that Procreate will be hosting a special event where they reveal a new project that they’ve been working on? I have no idea what it is but I am so very curious! I’m attending their launch event and I can’t wait to see what their reveal will be ✨ 

Hopefully I’ll see some of you at this event! For more info about it, check out the Playgrounds event website.

my findings from the ctubbo design poll are that if the human ctubbo enjoyers cannot say "he was just a boy" they will die

don’t know what parent of an autistic child needs to hear this but as long as they’re not harming anyone your kid’s stimming is not a “problem behaviour”
