nativesunnews.today South Dakota has to be the kindest, most thoughtful state in the Union when it comes to the treatment of its American Indian prison population. South Dakotans must surely take pride in the fact that they have the tenth highest incarceration rate per capita in the World and that although American Indians make up approximately 9 percent of the state’s population they make up 29 percent of their prison population. South Dakota is plainly one of the most benevolent states in the Union as they generously collect sales and property taxes to the tune of over $73 million a year just to pay for the excellent care our Native American family members and others receive while incarcerated. Their love for American Indians is plainly laid out by the fact that they’ve built them state of the art jail and prison facilities and are planning to spend millions more in the next few years to build them bigger and better facilities just so they can care for our Native brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, mother and fathers behind bars. This big hearted Christian state spends oodles on lavish accommodations for their Native American inmates by providing them three squares a day, nice clean bedding, and colorfully matched clothing. South Dakotans make sure our loved ones have a safe place to sleep every night by providing them a home, because they know most Indians who leave prison can’t secure housing because of their criminal records and they want to ensure they don’t end up homeless and on the streets. Undoubtedly the Creator will amply reward South Dakota State and Congressional Leaders for being the only state in the Union that imposes a felony for ingestion of a controlled substance so instead of using their hard earned dollars on treatment and rehabilitation measures “they” can keep our addicted family members clean, safe and sober in a cage.
