The Enslavers,
Pennsylvania Imprisonment Rates
By County

By: Pat Amberson

We have written before about the civil war being waged against citizens (mostly blacks) by the government. A huge number of Pennsylvanians are being imprisoned. What that really means is they are being enslaved as forced labor and to provide high-paying state jobs for rural whites. Nowadays the government is capturing and enslaving citizens at a rate 4 times greater than it did just 25 years ago.

In former articles which tried to express this cultural war we focused mostly on men (government has a bias against being masculine) and blacks (government has a bias against black cultural norms). In the present article, we compare how much each Pennsylvania county detests and exploits its citizens. We've averaged together the statistics for recent years to give a fairer representation of the hostility of the state's governments.

In the table which follows, we have tabulated only those citizens thrown into state prisons. In addition to these numbers, about the same numbers were enslaved in county jails. An additional number were put into federal prisons. Our table lists only the citizens (almost all men, almost two thirds minorities) we were fed into the state prison leviathan ( to provide baby-sitting jobs for the yokels of rural Pennsylvania who vote for the "conservative" oppressors.

Our table ranks each county with Philadelphia, the worst, listed first. It lists the average number of persons sent to state prisons each year and the rate of imprisonment. The last figure is derived by dividing the number of persons imprisoned by the population of the county. It is stated as the rate per million population. Since almost all those imprisoned are men, you can about double the rare to estimate what it is for the male population.
