The discovery of 215 bodies buried in unmarked graves behind a jail outside of Jackson, Mississippi, has left a community in disbelief. The families are angry they were never notified of the deaths and how their loved ones are buried in graves marked by just a metal rod and a number. Amna Nawaz discussed the disturbing details that have emerged with Bettersten Wade and attorney Ben Crump.

    Taking bets on the racial distribution. Anyone have puts on 85% or greater black/POC victims?

    This should be the kind of thing that results in a nationwide scandal and life jail sentences for the entire department. This is 672 individual citizens of the country who were slaughtered without cause. That’s no oops, that’s an extermination program.

      672 is not a graveyard, that’s a fucking mass grave. And yep I have no doubt what the majority of the dead’s racial makeup is.

        215 identifiable graves so far. They were given serial numbers, the highest of which is 672…

    I can’t understand why anybody is surprised by the malfeasance of the American incarceration industrial complex.
