This prison will most likely to be converted into a government run FEMA Death Camp.
how can people who were judged and imprisoned by the state( and the state(tax) money)be part of a private jail? And I”m pretty this private jail will get its money from the state.
(as this jail is private you won”t have to wait long to see that the new private owner will establish an special part is this prison for the jailed elite.1000 square feet prison rooms,with luxury carpets and big screen TV” s and only 3 walls to let them out whenever they want.
It’s incomprehensible that a taxpayer paid-for-prison can be sold to a private company, without reimbursement to the taxpayers, following the sale!….Now, not only are the taxpayers screwed out of the profit of the sale, (if any…I doubt it), now they will likely have to pay for leasing an already paid for facility, plus the cost of administering it !!!!!!!!….Gov. Perry and others have been doing the same thing nationwide…and it pisses me off!!!!!!!!!!!
No state is desparate for money, the always have money for propagada, the reason for selling the prison is so to advoid cultibility when people are murdered and raped, After 100′s of lawsuits are filed, the company will go bankrupt and change it’s name, then it starts all over again, more more more and no one is ever held accountable.
Step one to start creating a prison workforce. Get the public desensitized to prisoners working for “The man”. So they know what to expect when they wind up in one.
