In America, Crime Pays

America's Prison Industrial Complex

Shalam Israel, We are the original Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge, out of 1 West 125th st. Harlem, NYC, since 1969. The HOME OF THE TRUTH! In the Spirit of the Most High, in the name of Christ under Commanding General Yahanna, we have dedicated our lives to bringing the 12 Tribes of the nation of Israel back to the Father in spirit and truth. The people of Negro, and Indian descent, scattered throughout North, South, Central America and the West Indian Islands are the Lost Tribes of Israel. Wherever we are; in the ghettos, the barrios, the reservations or shanty towns; on the web, and in our everyday lives we strive to wake up our people.

In the United States of America, crime pays. Literally. America's prison industrial complex, is one of the largest and more popular revenue generating, business investment fields in the world. Mostly all prisons in the USA, operate and are funded on a per-inmate basis; the more prisoners you house, the more money you make. Back in 2011, a District Court judge in Pennsylvania, was arrested, tried in court, convicted, and sentenced to 28 years in federal prison. What was his crime? Well essentially, the former judge was part of a "kids for cash" scheme; in which he received money from a Pennsylvania Juvenile detention center developer, in exchange for ensuring the centers stayed occupied.

Now, why is it 2013 (two years later) and you've never heard this story? Where was the out cry for justice? Where was Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson with the public protests, picket signs, and "we shall overcome" rallies? Where there is no money to be made, so called Negro leaders are no where to be found.

Deuteronomy 28:68 - And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

The Most High told the children of Israel after Moses brought them out of captivity that they would go into Egypt, a Greek word which means "house of bondage” again, for a second time. This time they would go by way of ships, unlike the way they walked into the land of their captivity 400 years earlier. They were told that they would not see their homeland again and that they would be sold to their ENEMIES to be slave men and slave woman and that no man would buy them, or set them free.

Israelites today are under the illusion that we are free in America. Since when did slavery cease to exist in this country? One of the biggest lies, and misconceptions that have been perpetrated in this country concerns the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution.

The 13th Amendment to the Constitution declared that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

This 13th Amendment allowed slaves the freedom to leave the cotton and tobacco fields of the South, so that they could slave in the factories and industrial parks of the North. It also gave the Southern slave owners their key to keeping their fields full of workers. The 13th Amendment gave way to laws known as the Black Codes to be passed in the south. These laws made such things as "looking a white man in his eyes" a crime, that if convicted, could carry a sentence of 5 years working in the field.

Isaiah 42:22 - But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

So called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians, the twelve tribes of Israel, are a people that have been raped, robbed, and destroyed. We are caught in a trap called the American Judicial System, and hidden in prison houses. We are the hunted, and no one delivers us from the hunter. We are the spoiled and no one has restored what was taken from us.

There are more Blacks, Hispanics and Native American Indians in prison today, then there were slaves in 1863 (year of Emancipation Proclamation). This is because there has been a calculated effort, on the part of our oppressors to keep us in slavery. Prison statistics show that the number of inmates in US prisons rose from approximately 300,00 in 1972, to over 2 million in the year 2000. There's no coincidence that this time frame coincides with America's so called war on drugs.

The incarceration rate for African-Americans is 1,815 per 100,000 compared to 609 per 100, 000 for Latino-Americans, and 235 per 100, 000 for American whites. For black adult males the incarceration rate is a remarkable 4, 484 per 100,000, compared 1, 668 per 100,000 for Hispanic males and 1,318 per 100,000 for white males. Roughly one in ten of the world’s prisoners is an African-American male. In mid-year 1999, 11 percent of Black US males in their 20s and early 30s were in prison and 33 percent of Black male high school dropouts were in prison or in jail.


Deuteronomy 28:50 - A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

The so called white man, who is the Devil that the Bible speaks of, is a nation with a fearful reputation, and hateful disposition towards the children of Israel. This nation has shown no favor, neither have they regarded the old or the young of our people.

Former Pennsylvania judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. was convicted of illegally accepting money from a juvenile-prison developer while he spent years incarcerating thousands of young adults. He quite literally was "selling" children to privately funded prison, and juvenile detention centers. In the years from 2003-2008 it was found that over 5,000 children, some as young as age 10, had been denied their constitutional rights and illegally jailed.

Especially chilling is a statistical model used by the Bureau of Justice Statistics at the turn of the 21st century to determine the lifetime chances of incarceration for individuals in different racial and ethnic groups. Based on current rates, it predicts that a young Black man age 16 in 1996 faced a 29 percent chance of spending time in prison during his life. The corresponding statistic for white men in the same age group was 4 percent.

Nahum 3:10 - ... and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

The so called white man, who is the Devil that the Bible speaks of, has gambled against the Most Highs chosen people, and for the moment is winning. The policies of the CIA, FBI, and the American Justice system on a whole, has our young, strong men bound in prison.

Though we only make up about 13% of the US population, Blacks account for over 50% of today's 2 million plus prisoners. In the years from 1980 to 2000 the number of Black men in jail or prison rose 500%. In the year 2002 there were more black men in jail, than were enrolled in college or universities in America.

For human rights organizations around the world, the prison industrial complex in America is seen as the greatest human rights tragedy in modern history. Slavery, under the 13th Amendment, has become like a pot of gold at the end of a artificially created rainbow. For big business tycoons that have invested in the privatization of America's prisons, "renting" out inmates to labor for their companies has become the greatest way to cut cost. They don’t have to worry about strikes or paying unemployment insurance, vacations or comp time. All of their workers are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don’t like the pay of 25 cents an hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells.

Isaiah 33:1 - Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

Destruction is coming to America, and the so called white man, because he has spoiled, rapped, and robbed, the children of Israel, and no one spoiled him. The so called white man has dealt treacherously against so called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians, while we have been forced to love him, serve his country, worship his Gods, and be his servants. For the evil has been perpetuated against us, when the time comes for our oppressors to seek peace with us; we will then spoil and deal treacherously with them.

Here in the Israelite school of Universal Practical Knowledge, we care about our people, the chosen people of the Most High, so called Black's, Hispanics, and Native American Indians. That is why we bring these issues to the forefront and deal with the real problems that are plaguing our people. It is because of the love we have for our people, that we have been lebeled racist, and a hate group. Let's be clear about one thing, hatred and racism only matters when you have power and authority over those you despise. The so called white man has perfected his hatred and racism towards our people; amongst many other things, the prison industrial complex in this country is an horrifying example.

In the court case which was the focus of this editorial, the prison developer, found guilty of paying off the Pennsylvania judge, got sentenced to only 18 months in a minimum security prison. America was founded and built on the institution of slavery, and it is slavery which continues its growth today.

Now is the time for us to wake up and take a stand against this great evil destroying our nation. The only protection against the white man's plot to put us all back in chains is keeping the laws, statutes, and commandments of the Most High and Christ. Serving the Most High and following Christ, includes keeping the laws of the land. The ISUPK, is where Israelites can come and learn how to free themselves from the criminality that trains us in the ghettos, barrios, and on the reservations.

If someone you know, love, and care about is currently locked in prison, and in need of the truth of the Most High and Christ, we can help them here in the ISUPK. Real rehabilitation doesn't occur within the American Judicial System. However, the change that occurs through the spirit of the Most High and Christ in the ISUPK, is undeniably what makes this the Home of the Truth.
