There are 5,393 carceral facilities in the United States, places where people are held in local jails, state prisons, federal corrections facilities, immigration detention centers – “anywhere where an individual can be sort of confined and locked up,” explains Josh Begley, “and, in some of the bigger instances, warehoused in one place.”

Begley is a master’s student in the Interactive Telecommunications program at New York University. He wanted to graphically represent what all of this means, to communicate not just the sheer quantity of prisons in America (a number that has been booming for decades), but their volume on our landscape. As part of a class project, he created the oddly beautiful website Prison Map, which offers a mashed-up birds-eye view of all of these places, taken from Google Satellite images.

No. You’re not going to do this. Please. There is so much to live for. And right now you’re thinking no one would want to save your life. No one really cares. But I guarantee you there is someone you see every day, you might not even talk to them that much, but you’re their life line. They see you as a light of hope. They want to talk to you just as much as you want a reason not to do this. Who wonders why they couldn’t see it. Who wished they could have been there. Who wished they could have talked you out of it. Please reconsider, even if only for a day just so you can talk to anyone and everyone and ask if they care, because there will be someone that will look you in the eyes and say they do. You may not expect it from them. But they care.

I pray to God you don’t. For anyone who cares, please reblog this and write a message of love for this person. Please don’t do it. PLEASE. I’ve gone through this before, suicide survivor for 7 years. Life’s been hard, but it’s worth living and I’m never giving up. Please don’t give up.
