Stop calling Gaza an “open air prison.”
Prisons are filled with convicted criminals. Prisons have food. Prisons have water. Prisons have electricity. Prisons have medical treatment.
Gaza is not a prison; it is a concentration camp.
While I can’t argue with point 1, it’s wildly unrealistic to believe that even 3/4 of convicted criminals in American prisons are actually guilty. Between private prisons, kickbacks for judges, and the war on drugs, our prison system is about as shitty as it gets.
Private prisons only house 8% of US prisoners. The problem is the contracts given to public prisons.
Maybe she’s talking about European prisons?
