Here is where it gets crazy!

Well this explains why CEO's and politicians get off the hook.

So, if you own stock in CCA, get sent a CCA prison for a crime....do you get a suite? Would that be considered house-arrest? This is were it gets crazy...

[illysmanx]

yow! >.< I didn't even know there were for-profit prisons in the states! Since moving to europe, I've learnt that the rehab programs in the prisons in the country where I live see far fewer reincarcerations, and even though the prison sentances are much shorter, they're more effective.

@MrShizz77 nah you got it all wrong. you're running out of forests, most women are fat there, green grass? yeah i envy you lot's for that... and no one is asking for help from them really, it's all shadowy deeds and bombs...and your cock is most likely regular like most dudes all round the world. btw, i live in argentina, sexiest women ever( or so they say) and an amazing variety of landscapes too.. in conclusion, you're a brainwashed idiot =) c ya , one love

@esc4pethef4te Ps you most likely are an american who likes to hate on himself because you live in your grandmas basement and steal money from her purse to buy porn and lotion

[MrShizz77]

@esc4pethef4te almost anybody living anywhere has access to youtube no grass required....Lately? so you just forget about all the times in the past? its only lately. I think alot of countries citizens do not like what their government does and if you watch the news you know that americans are getting fed up with the things the government does and wants change.

[esc4pethef4te]

@MrShizz77 lol so your saying that other countries dont have grass or clean water, or forests? but access to youtube? n i dont recall anyone asking for americas help ately.... you guys just kinda let your selves into other countries, shoot brown people, and then leave.

I'm glad someone is pointing out the fact that prisons are a business, and in order to keep the business and money flowing, they need prisoners.
