aww Rev, sorry to hear that! Ugh, disgusting. 

Ain't it, though?  Instead of helping kids who have fallen into the cracks, we're hammering them down as cheap labor for Wackenhutt, to be rented out to call centers and Toys-R-Us (guess who stocks those shelves, kids?  You betcha!  Prison inmates.)

The program that might HELP is cancelled, and Wackenhutt gets paid both as a prison AND as a temp agency, and if the little buggers don't play along, they don't get "good time".

By the way, guess who the largest single lobbyist in America is?

Thanks, and this is the last I'll say cause I don't want to be buggering up Dr. Goofy's thread, the silver lining is that of the 3 jobs that would be impacted by this, I've been informed that mine is the one they are trying really hard to save.  In the meantime I've already applied for a new job that is closer to home.  Maybe this will work out for the best. 

Good Luck!

I am an idiot who needs shot but what can you do?

Aw, I doubt that very much--but end of the semester shit is always tough.  The fact I'm thinking of going back to school means I've forgotten a lot of that, more's the pity.

I thought AARP was bigger. They basically claim everyone over the age of 60, don't they?
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

Talking muscle, here.  AARP is significant, but comes in way behind the private prison lobby.

Ever wonder why there's harsher and harsher time for non-violent offenses?  Because non-violent offenders can be pimped out by Wackenhutt, and they get paid on both ends...once to house the inmates, and once for renting them out (and if you don't play along, you don't get good time).

If they put the money behind the parole departments that they do the prison guard/prison lobby, then the rescidivism rate would probably be non-existent.  But you won't hear any politician saying this.

Not the point.  Parole officers don't send big fucking bribes contributions to congressmen.

...which is why you won't hear politicians talking about it.  For all they are anti-crime and pro-education, so to speak.
