Screenshot of a quote tweet by the Hampton Institute @HamptonThink on X that quoted a @socialiststeve6 tweet reading, “After 20 years teaching in a Northern Virginia jail, I’ve come to the conclusion that most people incarcerated are there because they are poor.” The Hampton Institute added this comment: “Capitalism creates generational poverty. Generational poverty breeds desperation. Desperation leads to self-destruction, crime, child abuse, etc. “Capitalism creates prisons, nonprofit industrial complex, big pharm, etc to profit from the desperation. It's a never-ending cycle.”
