Looks great doesn't it. But for profit prisons are turning out to be the worse idea since for profit healthcare. If they aren't stopped there will be for profit prison lobbyists talking pols into making everything but breathing illegal to make sure they have plenty of "product" to feed on.

It's all EVIL!

1. What do you mean, "will be."
Why do you think there are so many mandatory sentences for non-violent crime?

Prisons are another one of those things that should never have been outsourced to the private sector.

3. Privatizing prisons is a crime in itself..
It makes it profitable to lock up and abuse human beings. For shame.
America now has more citizens in prison than any other place on earth. How can we be proud of that? How can we let this continue?
It is past time to end the war on drugs and let all non-violent and people convicted of victim-less crimes out of the prisons NOW.
Beside, we will need the room for all the Republican war criminals we will be locking up.

5. That is the theme music from the last Star Trek spin-off, "Enterprise"
And yes, it sucked so badly. I was really disappointed that they didn't go with a classical theme and the show really wasn't all that great either.
