I see there are a few SUN 'readers' coming around after their New Year's coma. I thought that sort of neanderthal shit had died out with Bernard Manning (or is he still alive ??).
Bee, I can't disagree with your point as I said I in no way condone what he did - if a court and a jury decides he deserves his punishment, I'm not to argue with them. However it seems the immigration issue is dictating the rather strange choice of place of detention (pending deportation) rather than the offence he's accused of.
I don't even have confirmation that charges have been pressed.
I don't think the transfer to New Mexico has to do with a deliberate desire to inconvenience his relatives/friends (as I can see with Basque prisoners here in France who are deliberately detained in the North of France) but it seems to come from the almost as appaling motivation of this farming out of prisoners for what seems to be commercial reasons.
I thought we were bad enough in Europe with the states (badly) running prisons but I can't imagine how they can be run by private companies..
