The Sin of Lumping Good with Bad

Some inmates who are serving time in our prisons deserve to be where they are. Some even deserve worse than prison. When a human being is void of conscience and feelings; when a human being does things that hurt others for their own pleasure or self-gratification, they deserve to be punished and made to suffer for their evil acts. However, prisons are NOT full of evil, heartless and hopeless people.

Many inmates are serving time for making a wrong judgment, getting into something over their heads or for simple immature stupidity, but not evilness. Those inmates can be said to learn a lesson the hard way. That lesson may be far harder than they deserve. Cold blooded psycho pathetic criminals who live to torment and abuse others with no concern for anyone else except themselves, often cause all the problems that affect the rest of the prison population.

Society has a habit of lumping groups of people, failing to seperate stereo types from truth and facts. All people who were on welfare were not lazy free loaders, who refused to contribute to society. But the mere word “welfare” put recipients into a negative light, receiving little or no compassion from people who lumped all welfare recipients into one category by way of rage. The same is done with prison inmates.

Justice does not manifest itself on the oppressed. Those who are oppressed in any way, never seem to be judged for individual ability or reason. Five percent of the population commit all the crimes.  Three percent of the National Budget was spent on welfare. In which half was spent to pay salaries and office space etc. for those who worked for welfare. These are the facts that the powerful hide in the game of blame the victim. Their motives are selfish and evil.

The rich and powerful twist and turn the truth, exaggerating the worst, to condemn the innocent who are forced to bear the sins of the few,  who live up to the reputation of being the worst. Maybe a fraction of all welfare fraud was committed, but society is made to believe by the rich and powerful, that welfare recipients were all guilty. This type of conspiracy against the poor  caused negative reactions from the general working classes toward the poor; And “Corporate Welfare” continues to escalate out of control, and taxpayers don’t bat an eye lash over it.

Likewise, a small percentage of criminals serving time in prison are dangerous and capable of ‘evil’. But society lumps all criminals in the same discriminating category like they did all welfare recipients. When a welfare recipient was to ill to work, or if they did a lot of volunteer work without pay, none of it mattered as an acceptable reason to collect benefits. Society still views them as lazy, unproductive parasites unworthy of help. They are viewed as deserving to be thrown out into the gutter like stray animals to fend for themselves. Many citizens believe they should all go to prison. As if poverty is a crime.

When a young person gets involved in criminal activity for status or popularity, often greed and evilness is not included in the criminal act. Yet, society is quick to see the word, “inmate,” as some psychopathic killers who have no conscience or feelings. Nothing in life is that simple. But those who make the rules must blame someone for all sins of society. So who better to put the blame on then the innocent masses who get lumped in with the few examples who make it hard on all the oppressed?

In prison rapists are considered the lowest form of scum entering prison. In the unwritten law of prison life a rapist is mis- treated and in danger of great harm by other inmates. When new inmates enter the prison population, they are tossed into a situation where the worst and most dangerous inmates are allowed to rape and brutalize unsuspecting inmates , who never deserve that fate. Inmates who rape other inmates do exactly what they themselves despise. How ironic.

If inmates make up their own unspoken laws about rapists and child molesters, than why doesn’t administration and society see to it that the few powerful leaders of evil, are punished for attacking the inmates who are there to simply do their time? Inmates who go to prison for being stuck on stupid, or were pressured into crime by bad company or by way of anger, drugs, or easy money, end up enduring cruel torments inflicted on them by the evil inmates,  who find no reason to treat others with love or respect. The evil doers, like the welfare users, drag down the rest of the oppressed to get revenge for their own sins. That is why there is no power for the oppressed to fight for justice and win.

If general society would weed out the genuine free loaders, including the wealthy, and separate the evil minded from the just minded, there would be less poverty and less crime. As long as we vote in evil minded leaders, nothing will change. Too often it is  the “victim” who is punished to cover the sins of the evil doer. In  prison, a person who fights off a rape, can be accused of starting a fight, and be put into the hole as punishment, while the evil doer is allowed to threaten the victim with harm if he tells the officials what really happened.

All the academic education with the highest degrees in the world, can not compensate for the ignorance of the truth. Only when society is willing to separate “evil” from good, will there be any justice.
