This quote stood out to me because I agree with this quote, even though there are so many people in prison, there are also a lot of people who don’t know what it’s like to really be in prison.

”We make them their crime. ‘That’s how we introduced them. That’s a rapist. That’s a murderer. That’s a robber. That’s a sex offender. That’s a burglar.

“And so it seems that in America, we haven’t so much ended racial caste, but simply redesigned it.”

This really stand out for me because the connection I said about prisons relating to slavery proves this quote right there. There is still racism, though it may not be there as you think, it is still the same but changed. Changed in a way that makes blacks still at risk and not stopped yet.

¨ Prison industrial complex, the system, the industry, it is a beast. It eats black and latino people for breakfast, lunch, dinner.¨ - Liza Jessie Peterson 

This quote means a lot to me because people be treating people like animals and in this world that's not okay but in jail they make it seem like it's okay but it's not because at the end of the day there are human beings and they have a difficult life inside because people be fighting other people for no reason just because they see the outside.

“You miss everything, everything about being home.The fresh air,your family,certain events,you want to be home”.-Kalief. It stood out because when you are suddenly taken out of the environment you are usually in and isolated, you start to lose the feelings and memories of those things. Basically just start losing your own grasp of reality which in my opinion is enough to tear a person down and mess with their mind.

They’re Called “Detention Facilities'', but they’re really prisons for immigrants. Calling them “Detention Facilities” doesn’t really make them not a prison.

When she said this quote, this stand out for me because this practice of imprisonment has been going on for so long, It is still the ideal way of slavery. I related this to slavery because company are making economical benefits from it. Even when they aren't identified as a prison, they'll still have some similarities when compared to one of another.

The most memorable quote from the segment was, “History is not just stuff that happens by accident. We are the products of history that our ancestors choose, if we’re white. If we are black, we are the products of the history that our ancestros most likely did not cho ose, yet here we are all together, the products of that set of choices. And we have to understand that in order to escape from it.”
