"Private Prison Sues State for Not Having Enough Prisoners"

These private companies just using the state and the state is allowing it. The company screams broke, create a b******t story how the state screwed them with funds thus laying off. Less cops means chaos in the prisons, they advertise the chaos to the public so we can squeeze more money out of you and hire the cops back.

Its all a business, he probably got killed, if he was still fighting with legal battles. Taking his own life is the last thing but i guess we will never know but look at things as a whole.

Thanks for sharing that article. The Orisin Industrial Complex is a real problem for this country.
I cannot bekueve it is legal for a state to guarantee prisoner quotas. Private prisons should be banned.

Your very welcomed sir,

The masses need to wake up. It could be anyone's son filling that bed. Im not saying he was guilty or innocent but when you have contracts like these. To me it sure seems like we are the lab rats. Incentives are to arrest and fill up.

It gives the wrong place, wrong time a whole new meaning.
These private companies are cashing in.

Look at Arizona, Arizona politics are owned by the Prison Industry.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's (R) "mad rush" budget prioritizes prisons over schools.

It secures an additional $32 million a year for the Arizona Department of Corrections, while reducing $99 million in funding from state universities, $15.6 million from community colleges, and $123 million from non-classroom K-12 schools. Further cuts to education are expected.

Such spending priorities are those of the industrial prison complex, not a society committed to providing economic opportunities for everyone.
If only the legislature funded schools like they do prisons.

Prisons in Arizona receive up to $23,652 per prisoner per year, while K-12 schools only get around $7,496 per student per year.

Private prisons are one of Arizona's growth industries. The state private prison population grew by 106 percent between 2000 and 2011, and in the rest of the country it grew by only 15 percent.

Arizona's legislature even agreed to pay the GEO group, a private prison corporation, a "100 percent occupancy rate" for all non-emergency beds in exchange for a discount rate for housing overflow prisoners."

The state creates criminals because prisoners are a the commodity of private prisons.

What's the difference if the state hands out the death penalty or if some guy on the streets does the same? Morally speaking, I know a court will review evidence etc.

Is the death penalty a deterrent? If so, why isn't it working?

I do think some people are pure evil and should probably not exist but many killers had a chain of events which led to one explosion of anger. I don't know the answers. I can imagine I'd be right pissed if someone raped and killed someone I love. I'd want vengeance.

I guess I'm more so thinking about the person who robs a store and shoots someone or the average street thug that was born into a backwards culture. Salvageable people. Are there any salvageable killers in your view?

Why is the murder rate so high in the US compared to other advanced/industrialized nations? Has the death penalty worked.

Access to guns, high demand for illegal drugs, ease of drug related foreign gangs to infiltrate us, lack of strong cultural institutions, segments of oppressed society with generational poverty, social problem of tying masculinity to aggression

Wow espn oconner is shocked

One less murderer to worry about.

4 years too late. Should have done it then and saved the tax payers some money.

Most memorable play when I think of this guy. Goldson says "hello!"

Segments of oppressed society.


When African Americans were under the boot of segregation and real actual oppression why didn't we see the same high murder rates we see in the late 20th/early 21st century?

What changed? It started in the late 1970's. Black males between the age 14-45 committed 53% of this nations homicides between 1980-2008. That age group makes up about 4% of the overall US population.

So essentially what you're saying is they're "oppressed" by white people which gives them no other choice but to shoot someone in the face. Was Hernandez oppressed?

Does China not oppress people in Tibet? Have the Tibetan people created a street level murder culture in reaction? What about Jews in Europe? They were systematically slaughtered in the millions. Entire families ripped apart. Property taken etc. Jews are doing quite well in Europe and the US even as antisemitism remains prevalent.

Does poverty force people to commit murder? Why are American Asian's living in povery committing far less murders than Hispanics/blacks living in poverty? Could it be culture? Are Asians "oppressed" less than Hispanics or something? Why do Asians do better in school and within the workforce on average? Could it be culture?

At what point do we place responsibility on the peoples shoulders that are taking part in this culture? Could this culture itself be perpetuating poverty and violence? Ending this culture should be priority number one. Hernandez was knee deep into this culture and he wasn't in poverty.


There's people across the appalachian region living in dire generational poverty and they generate some of the lowest homicide rates in the US. People without running water living in tin shacks. They don't have a street level murder culture. Even amongst high levels of drug/alchohol abuse.


At what point do we place responsibility on the shoulders of the people that are perpetuating this culture. When do we stop blaming exterior forces?

Just imagine, you get $23,652 per tenant in a 5 bedroom home you own. You are allowed to treat that tennant like s**t and don't need to provide him with s**t except for a 6 by 10 room, a working toilet and a bed.

Easy money: $118,260 per year. Why are we so stupid?

And he got flagged? smh

Man his lawyers really left him hanging.

Tom Brady wakes up in a cold sweat. Giselle asks him what was it. He replies he dreamt about this one time when he yelled at Hernandez for running the wrong route and realized he could have made his own death sentence. Giselle then says, yeah, that was a close one.
