One private prison advertises to investors that it will maintain a 90% occupancy rate.

Is it even necessary to explain why? I am shocked that this allowed, to advertise the enslavement of Americans, which is exactly what this does.

I have hopes that some of their business will be gone soon as more and more states pass laws legalizing MJ. At least one has now cancelled all charges against those who were facing, probably, jail time until this election.

There is a lot of evil, and I do believe it is evil, at work in this country today.

Which is why movements like OWS are so necessary and I am so proud of all the work they are doing in so many areas to try to counter it.
