Because it would seem that if, for whatever reason, I was mistakenly accused and convicted of something, I would basically have no way of continuing my life.

Also, I refuse to support a local (bleh, state, whatever) government with taxes just so they can ignore my vote. I'd rather live in a state where my vote goes to someone who supports my gripes. And yes, I recognize that that sucks, and that if more people moved to places where they could change things with their vote, things would actually get changed. But I'm one person, and me moving wouldn't solve anything.

I think your concern is misplaced. Just because you like coding and reading that an overcrowded ghetto California prison is going to be so much better than Michigan's in case you get mistakenly accused and convicted of something?

I'm 100% sure that wherever you currently live would comically and ironically undermine whatever you just said here in one way or another.

Basically you could find something to gripe about and something to ignore, and any of us could find out how your gripes aren't being supported.

> You aren't an inmate.

Presumably. Some states allow internet use, do they not?

I wish mine did. I've found it very difficult to teach inmates who don't have access to it, and in my opinion it has become an essential part of life.

Oh, that's nice. Tell me, what content is appropriate for a person who was arrested for dealing a few ounces of weed?

Motherfucker might find a chemical reaction that blows up!

Fuck acetic acid! Fuck sodium bicarbonate!
