Thank you I appreciate the insight into the American carceral system.
I would in lightest terms put forward it is pedantry, prisoner is a word used internationally, has informal uses and predates the existence of the US as a nation state.
He’s a political prisoner, and everyone unjustly bound by the US carceral state is a prisoner, be they in a physical jail, prison, detention camp, involuntary hold, on bail, parole etc.
yeah i think i was just using that as a chance to bring up some personal experience. and I agree, there are a surprisingly large amount of political prisoners in the system these days thanks to the expansion of the criminal code.
the libertarians used to (i guess the principled ones still) have a saying that the average American commits up to 3 felonies a day and doesn’t even realize it because they are so banal.
