[quote:Anonymous Coward 15138550:MV8xODU2Nzc1XzMwOTY1MDYyX0VEM0Y3MjYx] [quote:ANHEDONIC:MV8xODU2Nzc1XzMwOTY0ODQ1X0Y3QzJCMzlE] [quote:dragunov_1977:MV8xODU2Nzc1XzMwOTY0NzM5X0JBNjkyRTRD] [quote:GreyMatter:MV8xODU2Nzc1XzMwOTY0NTgyX0NEQ0JGQTYx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 14197539:MV8xODU2Nzc1XzMwOTYyMTgwXzFBNzZDNEQ=] There was a story just out how the music industry was hi-jacked by rap music and the cabal promoters who performed the hi-jack schemed a little scheme, to keep prisons filled with gangsta rap zombies. Than, in a gold thread, I posted they have a law where if you accumulate food, metals or anything, they can arrest you for hoarding. That post got deleted from the thread. Yes, hoarding is part of the agenda to put people in prisons, along with other petty offenses. Prison is all about the money and nothing about rehabilitation. They want repeat offenders to keep the scheme moving right along as they fill their pockets with cash on the barrel head. [/quote] Rehabilatation is a huge secondary industry. Think of all the drug and alcohol counseling and numerous other mental health centers that have been deployed in the past several decades. There is an alphabet label for every kind of so called mental disorder that plagues our society today. Think of all the billions of dollars in drugs dispensed for these disorders. Rehabilatation and the capitol generated from it goes hand in hand with incarceration. [/quote] Very few of those family service/ drug rehab centers accomplish anything. Plus they are all after the fact. By the time one comes out from these prisons and jails they are so mind raped very few seem to recover and if they do its despite of these family services and rehabs. And i agree its definitey more parasitic for capitol after the prison experience. Not to mention humiliating because these rehabs teach that EVERYTHING thats ever happened to you is YOUR fault. [/quote] I think a lot of those services are good in theory, but they are very poorly executed and plagued by the same rigidity and close-minded thinking that infiltrates most of our industries in our society today. That 'by the book' thinking that has absolutely no regard for outside the box thinking or approaches. Our science and medical fields are very much stuck in this mentality as well. If these people don't love or respect themselves, how are they going to be able to learn to respect their bodies? Drug counseling trying to treat the symptoms but not treat the cause. Can you please tell me more about that link you posted earlier? I am planning on visiting the site but would like to hear a first-hand account about it if you don't mind. How does the process work? Thanks! [/quote] While in many cases it may be true that the benifits of therapy is nil, many times it is also beneficial. Unfortunately there is good and bad in everything. I myself was given a choice, 1 yr intensive out patient therapy or 6 yrs prison. Of course I chose counseling. I was very rebeliuous and in total denial at first. I felt everyone and everything was to blame. As the months moved on I began to see things different. I am the one who makes my own choices and I am the only one that can change myself. I had a wonderful counseler that knew how to see through people and reach into them. It was defintely a good experience for me and I have learned to accept responsibility for myself and my actions. I realise this is not the outcome for everyone and that there are a lot of counselers that don't really care or just plain are not good at it. [/quote]

So, you got up this morning and thought: "The world is going to hell and a handbasket but the police state couldn't possibly get worse."
How wrong you were you little positive ninny!:
The nation’s largest private prison company is offering cash-strapped state governments to buy up their penitentiaries and manage convicted criminals at a cost-savings. But there’s a catch…the states must guarantee that are there are enough prisoners to ensure that the venture is profitable to the company.
Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) has reached out to 48 states as part of a $250 million plan to own existing prisons and manage their operations. But in return CCA wants a 20-year contract and assurances that the state will keep the prisons at least 90% full.
