Peacefully walk for justice in the USA. Erosion of Americans' Constitutional rights escalates. Abusive and deadly violence against inmates is usual inside U.S. jails and prisons. Police brutality against black, brown, and mentally ill citizens continues

People aren't sent to prison to be rehabilitated, they're sent there to get what they deserve, that paves the way for accepting the brutal abuses committed in prison and as in comments made by Lockyer, we take a perverse satisfaction in its existence
