on the human level... (inmates)

Inmates
What are inmates? They are humans. What are criminals? Homo Sapiens just like you and me. There is an unimaginable amount of inmates locked up in our prisons across the country. Yes, they may have committed a crime - whether grand or small, but they are still human beings. To think that they aren't because of an action they carried out is insane. But yet, in our every day lives - we shrug them off because they are "criminals". We don't care about them because they made a mistake in their lives. We don't want them to be treated like normal human beings because they choose the wrong walk of life at one point in time. That is mind-blowing to me. To throw away human beings because of their background should be illegal. The treatment that is given to them is unlawful, de-humanizing, and down right disrespectful. But too many of you Americans don't care, just like the rest. You are the problem. You are the fuel to the fire. You are the support behind the people who make those decisions. Don't you get it? If it needs to be fought for, fight for it! But we Americans are too lazy and depend on politicians to make our important decisions for us, and we are letting our country go to pieces. And what's sad is, it'll never change unless we do something. Well then, let's fucking do something.
