Recently, Vice President Kamala Harris made an appearance at North Carolina A&T State University. During the question and answer portion of the session, Harris was questioned on how she’s tackling environmental racism. As expected, she offered her typical empty headed rhetoric before bringing up the criminal justice system and the “disparities” that exist in prisons.
This statement is quite alarming coming from a woman who has kept black men in prison to use them as cheap labor for the state to fight wildfires.
As previously reported by The Daily Beast, Kamala Harris got hundreds of black men imprisoned past their released date so she could exploit them for $2 a day of cheap state labor.
Despite this troubling record, many legacy media outlets have chosen to ignore it completely.
Jackie Kucinich wrote about how Harris’ attorney general office kept inmates behind bars after their potential release date so they could be used as free laborers for California’s wildfire efforts.
This highly unethical practice resembles something out of slavery times which should serve as an eye-opening lesson for us all moving forward.
Moreover, Kamala also locked up 1,500 people simply for marijuana violations which shows just how severe her attitude towards criminality truly is.
The Supreme Court ruled in Brown v Plata that California’s prisons were far too overcrowded and thus violated the Constitution’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment back in 2011.
Three years later plaintiffs accused California of slow-walking the process while lawyers from Harris’ office countered that allowing certain non-violent offenders out would affect its own labor programs including using prisoners to help fight wildfires – something which didn’t sit well with many people across America either morally or ethically speaking.
However, despite this important ruling being made back then, Kamala has yet to take responsibility or account for this incident until now while still lecturing on reforming prisons – something she appears not ready nor willing to do herself without being forced into doing so first.
