For those who fight to end segregation, it is all about black and white with no barriers. Ebony and Ivory, side by side. Black and white. White and black.
They will fight to end segregation wherever it is, for segregation in itself is bad - Ebony and Ivory.
In theory the cause is just and moral, but there are instants where it is unjust and immoral. Fighting to desegregate schools - great. Fighting to desegregate the armed forces - great. Fighting to desegregate schools - great. Fighting to desegregate prisons - foolish.
Jamestown, Calif. - One of the last bastions of racial segregation will be breached next month. Trailing most US states, California will start fully integrating its prison cells beginning July 1.
The change has both inmates and prison guards nervous about racial violence in America's largest state prison system. They depict race relations behind bars as a delicate truce in which one transgression can trigger a riot.
Just as the civil rights movement has received all the accolades for the good work, they should likewise receive the criticism when this plan, in California specifically, falls apart and violence erupts. The loss of lives should be counted against those lost to the civil rights movement - only these, because of.
Behavior can be modified to some degree. You cannot change something that in many cases is what got you into prison to begin with. They will not put people of rival gangs together - duh. As if you would, but that is still segregating if you don't. How much you desegregate is subjective, and prisons should be one area you allow people to mingle or not based upon what they want. Someone who is in prison for life has nothing to lose and could care less about civil rights - they're in prison for life.
