Because I know you needed it, internet, I made you this reaction gif of Tavis Smiley and Cornel West hearing the news from Bill O'Reilly that nobody on Wall St. committed any crimes.
YYYYAAASSSS!!!
GIF Solid Gold.
In my Tavis & Cornell = Bert & Ernie theory, I guess Bill O'Reilly is Oscar the Grouch here?

Less than 19 percent of US servicemembers are conservative fundamentalist Christians. But 66 percent of the military's clergy are conservative fundamentalist Christians, leaving Catholics and mainline Protestants seriously underrepresented. To say nothing of military atheists and humanists.

My husband has been actively harassed for being anything but a Christian. He falls under atheist/agnostic, but a superior officer actually refused to issue his dog tags saying anything other than "Christian", going so far as to claim that they couldn't be issued as "Athiest".

"This is not a war zone. These are unarmed people. It doesn't make you tough to hurt these people… Where is that in the contract? Leave these people alone. They're U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens! U.S. citizens! U.S.! It does not make you tough to do this to them. It doesn't. Stop hurting these people, man. Why are you doing this to our people?… How do you sleep at night? There is no honor in this… There is no honor in hurting unarmed civilians."
WOW! speechless!
Certified badass.

Just as mass incarceration has burdened American taxpayers in major prison states, so is the use of inmate labor contributing to lost jobs, unemployment and decreased wages among workers — while corporate profits soar.
The use of forced labor in prisons took off in the early 1990s. Funny that. So did our incarceration rate:

Our prison industrial complex is nothing but corporate slave labor. Not saying people are purposefully being locked up to be a captive labor force for corporations, but with a largely privatized prison system, plus corporate contracts for labor going to said prisons, it's an awfully interesting correlation, no?
I know this has been a drug-policy heavy day but it bears mentioning that graph spikes up right around the start of the "war on drugs".
