Across the United States, hundreds of jails have eliminated in-person family visits over the last decade. Why has this happened? The answer highlights a profound flaw in how decisions too often get made in our legal system: for-profit jail telecom companies realized that they could earn more profit from phone and video calls if jails eliminated free in-person visits for families. So the companies offered sheriffs and county jails across the country a deal: if you eliminate family visits, we’ll give you a cut of the increased profits from the larger number of calls. This led to a wave across the country, as local jails sought to supplement their budgets with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash from some of the poorest families in our society.

even though the Democrats and Republicans both are responsible for this mess the Democrats are likely to blame Republicans and try to raise funds off it
works every time
Looks to me like you’re a republican trying to blame democrats.
Looks to me like you’re so indoctrinated by to the two party system that you can’t even fathom that someone might hate both parties (because they 100% serve the same people and goals), and hell, the system in its entirety… 🙄
Gotta love an “enlightened” centrist lol
I’ m from a country with a 20+ party system, so I can imagine quite well. Also, US centrist is far right over here.
