Depends on what felony. My brother is in prison and is trying to get out early on some woke bullshit. I think he should stay, but I also am worried about who he’s with in there because there’s not a lot of natives. People in prison know we get money so I worry about him becoming gang affiliated and not knowing what the fuck that means. Kinda makes me wish we did keep them in our own prison on the reservation.

yeah him being in prison can for sure be a problem for him, but of course if he is guilty he deserves to be there. Yeah in a perfect world you'd have your own prisons, and your own everything that a sovereign country has, but that is difficult logistically. Natives sometimes make good money on things like pipelines or casinos, many other things, maybe they could afford to build their own prisons someday. Woke people would shreak but who cares. It's not a fun topic but prisons are important.

It's not a fun topic

Yup, the parties only want hypothetical bullshit solutions to use for political gain. No one wants the hard conversations but that’s the only way to enact any change or connect with people. Most don’t want to hear anything negative, even if it’ll help them in the long run, and those in power know giving out crumbs is good enough.

Thanks for shooting the shit with me, Popper. I’d like to think we’ve gained a bit of mutual understanding through this exchange.

in a perfect world

That’s where I’m trying to go!
