Advocacy Groups Need To Stop Sending Form Letters

Here is an example of a form letter that is a slap in the face and dash of cold water in the face of a prisoner. What we ask advocacy groups do is humanize and personalize the responses. The injustices of the American system is mechanical bureaucracy we don't need advocacy groups mimicking and imitating the bureaucracy.

The American Prisoner Is A Slave By William Thorpe

 

United States Constitution Amendment 13

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

The  American Prisoner Is A Slave

The 13th Amendment of The United States Constitution is a wink and nod to the continuation of that most evil of human relations, slavery. The American prisoner is a slave and this backdrop of slavery presents us with a paradox. Books and purported services intended to assist the American prisoner priced beyond the means of the enslaved prisoner.

No one begrudges compensation for authors and writers of books intended to assist prisoners. But we have to point out that the American prisoner as slave cannot be, nor expected to pay prices and cost for services, supposedly by allies in the fight against the injustices of the American justice system and the reform of it's prison experiment, as if the enslaved American prisoner is a normal wage earner.

Is Also An Injustice

The above-listed 15 books are not the sum of the cottage industry work of profiting off the enslaved American prisoner but is an example of its tone-deafness. The outcome that I expect and anticipate as a result of this work is the realization and its subsequent reflection that pricing a book out of the means of its beneficiary is also an injustice.
