I posted only a portion in accordance to the rules here at GLP about not posting too much of the article. It is sure to make you realize why the U.S. has the largest prison population on the planet! |

If you actually read the story it is about investing. Convenient to leave out the key part of the only line posted: T.C. Robillard, analyst at Signal Hill, discussed his insights. “You’ve seen prison populations pretty consistently over the last three decades move up a couple percent a year…and from a business model perspective, it’s clearly good news,” Robillard told CNBC. And here's the actual title from the story: Lock Up Profits — in Prison Stocks: Analyst From a business standpoint, you DO invest in areas that have growth. It's common sense. Please don't make something out of nothing. Paranoia is unhealthy. |

The thread is about how prisons are making big money for the Wall Street crowd, thus why they are ramping up laws to turn us all into criminals. Furthermore, it is of value for people to wake up to the growing Police State. It's relevant shill. |

First of all, there isn't "big" money in prisons. They are very costly, and a liability. If they are expanding, it only makes financial sense to invest in their growth, just like any other venture. I wouldn't, but clearly some people do. Second, if you don't commit crimes, you don't go to jail or prison. It's really pretty simple. No crime, no prison growth. What are you afraid of? Lastly, don't selectively take parts of a story to further your own paranoid delusions about a "police state". Someone's been watching too much AJ. If you would have been more accurate from the beginnning, you wouldn't be defending yourself right now. So do the honorable thing, and request an UNpin. |

Well they know prison population is going to go up when they start to allow debtors prisons to once again come into being. [link to www.s8int.com] “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Quote from Joseph Goebbels Hitlers propaganda man. |
