Instead of imprisonment we should have work camps where criminals work sunrise to sunset building massive dong monuments. "Yep, I spent a dime in the dong mines, and I came out a changed man," is what they'd say.

I don't think the alt-right supports private prisons or the war on drugs. You're confusing bright eyed young edgelords with crusty old fogeys

Just LoL if you think this will hurt the rich fuckers who run these companies. The federal government will just buy these facilities at five time what they cost to build and the corporations will invest that money into other nefarious poo poo like privitized schools or something. The wardens will become principals and the senior/well connected guards will be teaching social studies or some poo poo.

P. sure the government owns most of the facilities and the for-profit corps are just contracted to run them but yeah otherwise that sounds about right

im pretty sure the american prison system was created to provide a cheap slave rental service after the civil war

i used to work at GDLS as an engineer and we outsourced our harness manufacturing to prisons in north carolina where prisoners were paid like 8 cents per hour to do very technical manufacturing work for the military industrial complex

the people that sourced the materials to the prison workshops would tell us that the shops would go through way more electrical tape than other non-prison facilities and from my shady background i surmise they were rolling the tape up into a bar shape and melting the ends into sharp points because, well, prison

that's my story. hope you liked it. the end

Somebody in PYF posted an article from Motherjones about a reporter who applied at a private prison. On his resume he disclosed that he's a journalist specializing in criminal justice and got hired anyway because they were so desperate for bodies. Interesting article, especially how his own attitude towards the prisoners is changed (negatively) by his experience at the facility.

that guy in the article - "hrmm think i'll go work at a prison, better grow a prison pussy before i get there"

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
So does anyone wanna fiddle and caper with me? Just finished reading that motherjones piece and I'm ready to resume celebrating.
