I've been hearing about Louisiana's prisons for years. They started not long after the Civil War making prisons into a form of cheap labor.... and they have become totally shameless about it. (They.. and a couple other states... used to simply work prisoners to death... then arrest some new ones (guess which races?) on vague charges. There were bounties in some places.

Apathy about environmental illiteracy? Don't get me started....

"Well, it hasn't happened yet... and they always invent something to fix it."
