> The money I did have, from my job and from before my mom died, they let the people come garnish my account because of court fines. On those stimulus checks, they sent me the $1,200 and the $600. They took all of that.

Fuck that. Sending stimulus checks to prisoners is beyond asinine. But stealing stimulus check from prisoners is an entirely new level of evil.



Sending them stimulus checks was not asinine it was humane.

The prisoners amd their support systems (if they were lucky enough to have one) were still affected by the pandemic.

People got sick, lost jobs, etc.

Prices of items that they already pay insane amounts for keep going up.

One day we will look back on all of this with shame.
