in their for-profit prisons, then it makes more sense when a group such as ourselves becomes demonized and blacklisted. You can Google for private prisons, taxpayer funded, which advertise a 90% occupancy rate to its investors. Wells Fargo have enormous investments in this. The CCA have been doing drug sweeps at schools...!!! And considering that 46% of those in prison are there on drug-related offences, the "war on drugs" is victorious, in opening new markets for profiteers. Are we next?
