RE: Congress Passes Bill to Throw Parents of Sexting Teens in Jail for 15 Years

in #politics8 years ago

The USA has become a prison slave system and needs more and more inmates to feed the privatised companies now running most jails. It is a shock when they come after parents but this is aimed at poor people, not those who can afford a lawyer.

Sort:  

My thoughts exactly daydreams. We have private prisons in my area. These prisons get paid per head/per day. So they have an incentive to fill the prison with more prisoners. The easiest way to do this is the simply create more inventory to send them. Cue.......the war on drugs.

And your last sentence is dead on. This is a direct attack on the poor.

thats true @crewjohn i am now following you

I really hope this is not the case but I haven't the evidence to prove otherwise. You sure know the right words to say to make millions of readers paranoid though.

i dont know how a comment on a thread could ever affect millions of readers - i am simply commenting with facts as understood by those who have watched the growth of the industry with dismay -- the whole article makes me sad and i hope the law never passes - have a great day too Dana
