    It was Nelson Mandela:

    A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.

    To be honest I was shocked when I learned about this stripping of rights when you are imprisoned in the US. It is literally a tool of tyranny to lock people up in order to silence them.

      And that’s precisely why I can’t own a gun! I got framed for some bullshit and compelled to plea guilty probably because I’m vocal enough to end up on someone’s list.
