I am writing a paper for my English class on community issues for a persuasion paper. I am recently was held for a warrant I tried to squash at court when I went in person. The judge still detained me even though I went in voluntarily. I feel this was discrimination since all the people after me were there for the same reason and I was the only one held back. I feel it is slightly to do with AZ being responsible for incarcerating latino/a's and for owning the jails and prisons in AZ. Might be why the other people there were given a warning yet I was held on a $500 bond and could not pay 10% they wanted the whole thing; considering it did not go towards my fines which is why I was there in the first place. While I was detained for 4 days, I was notified that AZ Sheriff Joe" Is responsible for the inmates here in Phoenix by taking profit in the prisons and jails. I feel this was counter productive to keep inmates out of jail like a conflict of interest. Not only that but he was just in court for being sued $50 million dollars for SB 1070 which deported all the illegal immigrants from Phoenix these last 4 years. Where does that money come from? The tax payers; you and me actually. So why is this being tolerated??? I asked the same question, while the city and state are being reported to have an income of %80 percent of the states money coming from inmates and being spent on legal issues like deportation and not out of the owners own expenses which reach the millions of billions of dollars. Kinda sounds like Capitalism to me at it's finest; Well again Castro here and I will update you after I do further research.,
