Who Goes to Jail? Matt Taibbi on American Injustice Gap from Wall Street to Main Street
Apr[masked]
<http://www.democracynow.org/2014/4/15/who_goes_to_jail_matt_taibbi>;Award-winning journalist Matt Taibbi is out with an explosive new book that asks why the vast majority of white-collar criminals have avoided prison since the financial crisis began, while an unequal justice system imprisons the poor and people of color on a mass scale. In "The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap," Taibbi explores how the Depression-level income gap between the wealthy and the poor is mirrored by a "justice" gap in who is targeted for prosecution and imprisonment. "It is much more grotesque to consider the non-enforcement of white-collar criminals when you do consider how incredibly aggressive law enforcement is with regard to everybody else," Taibbi says.

Helene, I may be able to add to this discussion from the perspective of juveniles in detention. I can discuss statistics about the Discipline Gap and the school to prison pipeline. I have been a school psychologist in OC juvenile hall. Dori

Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97nAvTVeR6o&list=PL5B51DE4F782DF2ED
...All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me
...
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, kike me
Don't you wrong or right me
...
