John Oliver Rips Apart $80 Billion U.S. Prison System That Sets Ex-Cons ‘Up T... During Sunday night’s episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, comedian and host John Oliver ripped apart yet another aspect of the broke American so-called “Justice System.”
This time his focus was on the re-entry of ex-convicts into society after their supposed “rehabilitation”. The federal government maintains that the U.S. prison system is in fact a “corrections” system – meaning that the focus is on rehabilitation and reducing recidivism. That, of course, is a joke to anyone who has looked closely at that Justice System. Oliver directed his comments at over 6,000 non-violent drug offenders who are being released from prison.

Oliver noted to viewers that the release of 6,000 prisoners is really nothing when we consider that 600,000 prisoners are already released each year. “I felt set up. Is Campaign Cash From Police Unions Watering Down Democrats' Reform Efforts? (Photo: Riot Police via Shutterstock; Edited: LW / TO) At every turn, police unions and law enforcement lobbying groups have staunchly opposed measures aimed at policing reform.
They have been the first and loudest voices to defend the perpetrators of each new incident of police murder and brutality caught on camera - no matter how heinous. Most recently, in California, unions called on Gov. Jerry Brown to veto a recently passed bill that aims to curb racial profiling by requiring police to report the race and other demographic features of any person stopped by an officer. Craig Lally, the president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, called the law "a joke," while Lt.

But he wasn't in the Spring Valley classroom by accident: Before being placed on leave (and reportedly fired) as a result of the incident, he was a school resource officer tasked with securing school grounds — and who had the authority to arrest students. Some of the responses to the Spring Valley incident have attacked school and local officials and the media for using the term "school resource officer," calling it a euphemism.
That may be true, but it's also an official term — and a very real phenomenon. Thousands of law enforcement officers are stationed in American schools — and they're a key part of the "school-to-prison pipeline," which places students into the criminal justice system for matters of school discipline.

The Prison Industrial Complex and 7 Companies Making a Fortune AnonHQ. Economy Prisons are big business.
There isn’t a doubt, and I can speak first hand after working in the system for over a decade, leaving it with a hindsight and insight into its ugly nature. Essentially, the industrial side of prisons’ makes for a perfect capitalist venture. Cheap (slave) labour for exchange of goods. No Occupational Health and Safety so to speak, unless it is to the benefit of the industry – not the prisoner.

California passes sweeping police accountability law. Thanks to continual pressure from groups such as Black Lives Matter and the rest of the nation, California’s minorities have received a new measure of security from police brutality and racial profiling.
Intending to reduce excessive force and keep police officers accountable, California governor Jerry Brown has signed legislation designed to prevent police officers from tampering with body camera footage. The LA Times reports that the law establishes rules for how the video will be stored and used, supervised by the state attorney general’s office. The law also requires officers to issue more detailed annual reports on all cases that result in violence, and mandates police report the ethnicity of anyone they pull over.
Police brutality against minorities — particularly young black men — has sparked nationwide protests in the last year. Many of the more infamous killings, like the NYPD strangling of Eric Garner, were exposed by citizens recording the incident.

Alex Garland On the afternoon of December 6, in the middle of a Black Lives Matter march through downtown Seattle, a young man named John Raymond Loranger was tackled and arrested for allegedly kicking an officer in her shins.
