Prison Reduction Starts With Jail Poem by Suzanna Chevalier

Did you know that being in prison is better
than being in jail?
Yes, jail is worse, it’s a living hell.
Now you ask in this day and age
why would we still treat humans like
this on the planet?
Are we not highly evolved yet?
Are we still like cannibals full of rage?
Yes, human suffering is still at an all time high
no matter if Jesus, Buddha and Gandhi fell out of the sky.
WE still haven’t remembered where we are from
so we go on with this punishment, blame to hurt
to the weakest link under the sun.
So if WE all knew what harsh treatment is really going on—
in jails—
WE would say this is inhumane since this punishment had first begun.
And we would Re-Think how we ran jails and prisons from a
highly evolved point of view—
Help change humanity’s consciousness of jails
if the majority of people only knew.
