Prison Song Playlist

johnny-cash-250.jpgIn conjunction with Slammed: The Coming Prison Meltdown, Mother Jones' investigation into the prison system, the MoJo staff compiled some of our favorite prison songs by the Bobby Fuller Four, ACDC, Sam Cooke, Thin Lizzy, Johnny Cash, and more.

We're locking up 1 in every 100 American adults—and going bankrupt in the process. Are there alternatives to a total meltdown? Our MoJo Prison Guide tells you everything you wanted to know about prison but were afraid to ask. And, a comprehensive guide to all Mother Jones articles, audio, and video on the prison system and links to resources will help you find out more.

Why not listen while you read?

I just want to thank MoJo for this very comprehensive report on prisons in America. For years, it has felt to me like a Holocaust happening right in our midst, around every corner in America, and yet seemingly no one noticed are cared enough to say anything. Children are being locked up for their whole lives, with no chance to ever get out, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am so very glad to see MoJo's excellent reporting, exposing this dark evil, and will refer to it often. THANK YOU!

I am somewhat shocked that no-one has suggested the obvious concerning the big oil ripoff, namely B-O-Y-C-O-T-T E-X-O-N!!!! I don't get it. No new laws are needed, or amendments, or Supreme Court rulings, or referundums, petitions or any other cock-a-mamie bullcrap known to God o man. Think, what cringing shivers would be sent all through the corporate world that all the public had to do to bomerang the rip-offs is "D-O-N-T B-U-Y T-H-E-I-R B-L-E-E-P-I-N-G C-R-A-P!!!" We don't have to buy Exxon; we can buy any gas, and wouldn't that shake the bee-jeebers? We've got them by the coolies and we can't see the forest for the trees. Shame, shame. Please! Please! Somebody, anybody, get the ball rolling. P-L-E-A-S-E!!!
