Late Night Video — Immigrants for Sale
This is from Brave New Foundation, but their point here about the private prison business is larger than immigrants — the entire War on Drugs business feeds this industry as well. This video is 2 minutes, 20 seconds:

The $72,000/year cost by these prisons to house a prisoner is on the high end, but here in Delaware, it costs $30K/year to house a prisoner. Compare that to: Cost of $20K per year to send someone to University of Delaware with room and board. Cost of public school primary and secondary education per student in Delaware is less than that. And the Tough on Crime People (send them all to jail!) are largely the same people complaining about the cost of education , how much teachers get paid, how the education system fails kids and is just generally screwed up.
That is likely because our priorities are really screwed up.

You’ve never been locked up. Guys in there have been screaming for help for years. The free market at work. When this thread dies, so does your concern. Guys will still be victims of the free market. The human auction block. Guilty until proven the company can’t make more off you than yourself.
Duck. Knees. Groin. Throat. Duck. Knees. Groin. Throat.
Because you set yourself in a low stance you should be level with the first two target areas. from that crouched position when you bring “it” up to score the throat it becomes a party.
CAUTION: Those of us 6′ or more its Groin. Swipe. Throat. See Dave, I drew you a map!
If Evan is your adversary: Ew! Squish. Wipe your feet. Ew! Squish. Wipe your feet.
Happy to help.
I’ve never been locked up, but the point of this thread (and one I’ve made repeatedly in this very forum) is the real futility of spending alot of money on the maintenance of a prison population vs investing a genuinely decent education for young people(and genuinely smarter drug laws). Better investment up front and smarter laws ought to equal quite a few less guys inside screaming for help, you know?
And thanks for playing.
