First Vaughn Prison Revolt Trial Begins

When you have nothing left to lose, people lose it.
It's a simple maxim, really.
Seems to me that our overlords would learn to recognize this fact.

It is so easy to decree 'off wit' 'is 'ead!', but really, dear reader, unless you are willing to do the wet work yourself, you probably shouldn't be so cavalier in your response to things not going the way you would like to see them.

Many of the 'criminals' in prison are there as a result of the system that enslaves them.

A properly managed society would have found them satisfying work when they were ready to support themselves.
Instead of dropping them in the deep end of sink or swim crapitalism, a proper society would have made sure that they were successful because the success of each of us should be our number one priority, imo.

From the story:

By Chris Schiano, Unicorn Riot
October 23, 2018

Wilmington, DE – On February 1, 2017, a prisoner uprising took place at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna, Delaware.
Over 100 inmates at the maximum security prison seized control of ‘Building C’ at the state Department of Corrections complex, taking several prison employees hostage in an uprising that would last almost 24 hours.
Those involved in the uprising demanded better living conditions, access to education, transparency in use of prison funds, and an end to inconsistent enforcement of prison policies.
Now, more than a year and a half after the historic uprising, four defendants – Jarreau Ayers, Derric Forney, Dwayne Staats, and Roman Shankaras – are the first to face trial after refusing plea deals offered by prosecutors.
After police retook Building C on February 2, 2017, 18 prisoners were eventually indicted on felony counts of riot, conspiracy, first degree kidnapping, first degree assault, and first degree murder. Since one of the 18 – Royal ‘Diamond’ Downs – has turned state’s evidence, supporters are referring to the Vaughn uprising defendants as the “Smyrna 17” (The James T. Vaughn Correctional Center is in Smyrna, Delaware.)
Apart from Ayers, Forney, Staats, and Shankaras, four other groups of prisoners face trials in between November 2018 and February 2019.

Before you get the bighead thinking you are a prison expert, ask yourself if you have both sides of the equation.
If you haven't done time, you don't know what you are talking about, imo.
