Maybe this is the solution to a lot of conservative issues. Make them live on the street for a few weeks. Put them in a domestic violence situation. Let them try out state-funded mental institutions.
The tricky part will be making them feel the experience of being a minority. I'm not sure blackface would have the desired effect.

No one has been more supportive of our state's prison industrial complex than our own Governor Gregoire. Her need to appear "tough" has resulted in an awful record of abuse and racial intolerance.

Wasn't Martha Stewart supposed to be a women's prison reform advocate after she was released? Haven't heard much on that since!
