all jail is
is a place that breeds criminals
all jail is
is a place where people are trained
to feel like a lower class citizen
all jail is
is a place to learn politics for the
next time you are in jail
all jail is
is a place to punish people
stupid enough to get caught
without trying to make sure
they have the skills
to never return
all jail is
is a way to make sure
inmates will always
fear men in uniform
all jail is
is target practice for those new recruits
in their new crisp uniforms
so they will be brave in the sight of true fear
all jail is
is a joke
since when you get out
after paying your debt
you still have to pay for that debt
with a black mark
on your name
for the rest of your life til you die
all jail is
is the place to go back to
after you can’t get a good job
since that black mark won’t fade
and crime is the only answer
all jail is
is the home away from home
for the people that society
doesn’t want in their neighborhoods
all jail is
is an archaic hierarchy
that should have been abolished
years and years ago
all jail is
is a repetitive cycle
of producing more lifetime criminals
all jail is
is a repetitive cycle
of producing more lifetime criminals
all jail is
is a repetitive cycle
all jail is
