Michael Vick is a prime candidate for attending some political education and consciousness-raising workshops.  This feels like a case of internalized oppression to me. From USA Today:

Incarceration was the only thing that was going to separate Michael Vick from the underachieving and destructive life he led prior to his conviction on a federal dogfighting charge, the Philadelphia Eagles QB said.

In an interview with the NFL Network‘s Jim Mora, who used to be Vick’s head coach with the Atlanta Falcons, Vick said he was so cocky that no one could rein him in.

“There was nothing you could do, Jim,” Vick told Mora, via PFT. “The best thing for me, that ever happened to me up to this point, as crazy as it may sound, was me being shipped off to (federal prison in Leavenworth) Kansas. Because other than that, I wasn’t going to change. I wasn’t going to get all the people away from me that was leeches and wanted to be around. I wasn’t going to stop fighting dogs.”

This is profoundly unhelpful.  As Angela Davis has said: “Prisons disappear people.”  Dear Michael, please stop being an apologist for the current system and more importantly choose to be an advocate for lessening the reach of the PIC rather than extending it.
