Deja Vu: Recruiting Domestic Terrorists at U.S. Prisons
The passage below is from the early 70s but it sounds an awful lot like what is being said today:
Prisons became the issue of the Left, particularly in California, where prisons had been radicalized early. In the radical Bay Area Left, a dangerously indiscriminate credo evolved: that prison inmates, by virtue of their suffering alone, made the perfect revolutionary vanguard. And black convicts — “the most oppressed of the oppressed” — became the elite cadre.
30 years ago the fear was the radicalization of African Americans in prison, today it’s the same but with radical Islam as the focus. If you have a wacky idea about changing the world order but having a tough time getting people to subscribe to it, it appears that prison is a good place to start.
