Episode notes
Love notes from behind prison bars. In this exciting episode incarcerated Americans send their Valentine's Day messages to their loved ones. Breaking false stereotypes and prejudices that those inside are unloved or forgotten. For generations the mass media and corrupt politicians have spewed propaganda demonizing fellow Americans that made bad decisions. Using crime as a pretext to systemically enslave them in cruel prison conditions. A blatant crime against humanity. Exploiting their loved ones. Extracting vast sums from their communities. Saddling debilitating court debts on them. Ensuring cycles of impoverishment. Keeping troubled Americans uneducated and untreated. Handicapping their ability to rehabilitate. Surrounding them in artificial environments of extreme violence. Further traumatizing them.
