Activist San Diego General Meeting

 • Why does the United States incarcerate a higher percentage of its population than any other country in the world?

 • Why are private companies getting into the prison business, and how do they think it’s going to benefit their bottom lines?

 • Why has the U.S. prison system been called the “new Jim Crow”?

 • What is the connection between the expanding U.S. prison population and the “war on drugs”?

 • How do gender-variant people fare in U.S. prisons?

 • Is abolishing the prison system a real possibility?
