The real disturbia

Check out this story on the 500% increase in prison construction in the USA. Apparently the new economic stimulus bill contains $800 million in funds for more jails, but cuts the money allotted for schools. And it turns out many of these prisons are housing children - some of whom are tried without lawyers. Freaky.

Wow. I would be interested to know what type of jail the judges will find themselves in. Maybe they should take 2.6 million dollars and split it amongst the kids who were wronged by these two judges. I wonder if they will be tricked into signing away their rights?

It's hard sometimes to acknowledge just how morally bankrupt some individuals really are.
