I find it interesting that this new For Profit prison system is spending millions to defeat marijuana legalization. More criminals, more profit, no rehabbing it just cuts profit. It would be interesting to see where these prisons are besides Florida which is full of them.

There is a marked difference in the subject matter and sensitivity between military need to know and diplomatic need to know.

Officers are above the law and rarely get punished like enlisted people do and never humiliated either... Often let go quietly and many still getting their retirements.

State contracts with private prison companies often include clauses covering guaranteed rates of occupancy, often as high as 90%. So, if a prison isn't at the required capacity, the state (or you and I) pay for the empty cells anyway.

This smacks of the sort of 3rd world class corruption that is used to fill work contracts from prisons filled with folks on bullshit charges that couldn't afford our pathetic for-profit justice system.

It's a step up from rocks, bottles, and re-bar.

If they don't get satisfaction, they're stepping it up to sharting.
