Black people die; corporations get rich

A smiling young Black woman with long wavy hair by El Jones August 5, 2020October 20, 2022
The inside of a cell at Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Burnside. It's super small, and everything is painted beige. There are two bunks, one obscuring the small window. There's a tiny table bolted to the wall, and one stool bolted to the floor. The toilet sink combo is in the corner by the door. Very homey.
