In reply to the discussion: In Case You Missed This...

It is a travesty when my own government imprisons people with the honor and integrity of Kiriakou. Frequently.

We do it to be cruel and ruin lives and make money in the process for private corporations. We incarcerate more than the most bad ass fascist police state totalitarian anti-democracy countries on the planet. A lot more!
