7. There is no just, moral or economic reason for this industry to be legal.

It's nothing but a growing cancer against our democratic republic and has no redeeming value.

Governmental corruption, public disenfranchisment, militarized police, alienation of the American People from their government and 21st century slavery will be the only result for allowing such a despicable industry to exist here in the "land of the free."

It should be against the law for a for profit prison industry to exist, the state should have sole power for the task of incarceration and if public taxes won't support it, then draconian laws should be eliminated and/or reduced.

Thanks for the thread, Scuba.
