Arkansa backwater jails ftw, yet again. If I was going to prison for a long time in Arkansas (or Louisiana), I would commit suicide for sure.
Who in their right mind started to allow running infrastructure, but especially prisons and hospitals, as for-profit businesses? 😵💫😵💫
Isn’t it blatantly obvious that it can only ever be detrimental to society?
Yes. Politicians and lobbyists.
And we allowed it because “who cares, they’re criminals”.
its not a justice system… its a revenge system
It’s a cruelty system. I know many pro-death penalty people who are really angry that criminals are not getting their throat slit on site, then their slow death recorded for
the enjoyment of pro-death penalty peoplecrime deterrence purposes.It’s neither about justice nor revenge. It’s about people as commodities (read: slaves) that states and private prisons can use for near-free labor. As long as the slaves can and will work, they don’t give a rats ass about the slaves. If the slaves start revolting or dying, and it affects the bottom line, then they will do something.
Can confirm. I made around 30 dollars a month (back in the early 2000s), and I gladly worked because it was an opportunity to GO OUTSIDE. Sometimes even outside the walls.
Arkansas has been a third world hell hole for as long as I can remember. And I’m 72 years old.
and they dont like being called “ar-kansas”
Even Republicans voted for lower costs and this guy is punishing inmates. SMH.
