I'm Nathan Rich aka Kulkulta Wang. I know some of you out there are young, but not me. Hell, I feel like I've lived ten lifetimes already. I've been a lover, a liar, a nerd, a punk. I've been a loser and a poet. I've dreamt the wildest dreams and I've lived in nightmares. I've slept in dumpsters and I've been a millionaire. I've been the most honest man in the world and someone lost in the depths of philosophy. I've been petty and I've been generous when I had no reason to be. I even spent a few weeks in jail. My charges were deferred, which means I'm not a convict. People with low IQs get swept up in cult control and try to push the message that I am. They make up these long and strange conspiracy theories about how I'm an indentured, servant and China and maybe that's why I pretend to love it here. All the while they expose the reality. They hate China so much that they search desperately for answers to the question, how can Da Wang actually love China? I've been a science geek and I've been a world traveler. Rarely have I met someone with a life like mine, but it's not something to be proud of. Just my experience. Haters can't fathom the depth they're dealing with. Do they know what it takes to successfully resist Scientology and Doctoration from childhood to live on the streets eating out of trash cans for years? Did they survive the violence and pain? I don't think so. Jail's not fun, but from what I hear prisons even worse. I've known a few people at when. In all those years I was squirming in my cocoon, there's one thing that was certainly changing my country when it comes to prisons. In 1984, the US began formally privatizing prisons. At that time, the prison rate was already higher than modern China. China's incarceration rate is around 120 people for every 100,000. But even back then, America was a zealous glutton for imprisoning of citizens. In 1984, the rate was 188, which was twice the rate that it was in 1970. So in 14 years, the rate of imprisonment doubled in America. But after privatization, an unprecedented explosion in the prison system sent shockwaves across the world. That number is now 655 per 100,000. By the way, that 100,000 includes children. That means of the adults in America there's about 850 people in jail or prison for every 100,000 adults. That's much, much more than any so-called communist country. That's more than any socialist country. It's more than any so-called authoritarian state or sharia state or anywhere else. It's another example of what it means to have corporations rule your government. The elite few profiting from the incarceration of the masses. This is what a prison state looks like. Let's put this into perspective. If China for some reason wanted to match the United States, it would have to arrest and imprison 7.5 million people right now. Is that clear enough for you? If China and prisons 7.5 million more people, it will be equal to the current rate of imprisonment that the US already has. So let's all agree to pressure the United States to reduce its prison population. Let's get those numbers on the front page of every news site in the world. It's horrible. Or is it? Maybe it's not that bad. I mean, at least we know American prisons are safe, right? As usual, I just pick literally a random year and is the international 1997. Let's see what they found. Shootings in disputed circumstances. It will treatment by police and prison officers, including leading to deaths. Political prosecutions, executions of people with mental capabilities of quote a 7-year-old. A Mexican force to sign a confession in English which he could not read, speak, or understand. He was not granted access to a lawyer or a consulate. Then he was executed based on that confession. Or how about this? Most of the foreigners sentenced to death were denied access to consular assistance. Here's a guy who was executed based on testimony alone. The person making that testimony admitted he was lying. Afterwards the prisoner was executed anyway, and I almost forgot to mention torture. How about this black guy who was tortured and racially abused? He was kicked in beaten in a cop car with night sticks. And when he got to the station, they raped him with a stick and then stuffed it in his mouth. They didn't get him medical attention for hours. He was then hospitalized for two months due to his injuries. You know what? I'm literally not even halfway down this article. I think you get the disgusting and horrible point of this thing. Other stats? In 15 teenagers in juvenile detention said they had sexual contact with the staff. Listen to this testimony published by a human rights watch about a prisoner in America. I've been sentenced for a DUI offense. That means drinking and driving. His third offense. I am a tall white male who unfortunately has a small amount of feminine characteristics and a very shy. These characteristics have got me raped so many times. I have no more feelings physically. I have been raped by up to five black men and two white men at the same time. I've had knives at my head and throat. I've fought back and been beat so hard that I didn't think I'd ever see straight again. One time when I refused to enter a cell I was brutally attacked by staff and taken to segregation. I was given a conduct report. I explained to the hearing officer what the issue was. He told me off the record that I should find a man who would willingly have sex with me to prevent these things from happening. I requested protective custody only to be denied. The staff member also said there was no where to run and it would be best for me to just accept things. He says he probably has AIDS now and quote, I have great difficulty raising food to my mouth from shaking after nightmares of thinking too hard on all this. I've laid down without physical fight to be sodomized to prevent so much damage in the struggles, ripping and tearing. Though in not fighting it caused my heart and spirit to be raped as well, something I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself for. To be fair to America this kind of thing happens all over the world. But and here's the key point. We cannot control what happens in them all the time in all places. It's not feasible. Encoureration is bad. It's to be avoided and that means you want your country to have less of it, not more. So for the love of everything good, please let some of the non dangerous criminals go America. Don't think it's possible? Why? China did it last in 2015 and they just announced it's happening again. Last time they released over 31,000 people. People unlikely to repeat offenses or who have helped defend the country in wars and several other qualifiers have been let out. People are going to leave the hell of prison. Of course this news is quite under reported in the West, but it's a big deal. We don't know how many it'll be this time, but I hope to see America follow China's lead for once instead of the usual excuses about how China's still bad somehow and America's right, right, right. Start with the non violent criminals who have broken laws already repealed. It's not that hard unless you're two party system grid boxed endlessly that is. But that's for another video. In the meantime, please reform the prison system by removing this absolutely dystopian paradigm of profit from torture. But even easier than that, let some prisoners out. Stop worshipping corporations and start helping people. Everyone, sorry for the dark mood of this video, but I'm sick of no one talking about this as if it's a settled matter. America doesn't need to be the most aggressively totalitarian prison machine in the world. It doesn't. Just a few decades ago, it wasn't. So I just have to bring it up. It's my country and I want it to do better. I'm talking about this knowing it will be demonetized on YouTube. I'm bringing it up because it's a horrible version of hell that we humans have created. Let's work to uncreated slowly and patiently not to privatize it and make money from it. And hopefully one day we won't need prisons at all. Thanks everybody. Thank you.
