According to a new report from the Congressional Research Service
Federal prisons in America are being packed with inmates like never before. The CRS
says changes in Federal sentencing contributed towards this situation. RT's Ramon
Galindo joins us for more on what's behind this prison population explosion.

Supposedly all these Halliburton camps are fully staffed and ready to go... so what's the problem?

Three meals a day

A warm bed

Television, internet and radio

No worries

In Kansas late each spring there was an older gentleman (mostly Native American) who would appear at my farm. He wanted to live in the barn and help with the spring planting and mostly care for the dairy goats and other animals. He was a wonderful presence and would fill the air with his incredible flute music.

He came to my farm in springtime because the jail would kick him out. He would commit petty crimes . . . just enough to get put in jail for the long miserable winters. He would hang through the summer, sometimes disappearing for a few weeks at a time and when the cold dark winter began to set in he would commit a crime (usually theft) and make sure he was ‘caught’ and sent to jail.

Addition to post . . .

No work, no income, no resources to take care of themselves let alone their families. . . . wife and kids then can go on welfare.

Tens of thousands of soldiers coming home to what? The cold streets.

No conspiracy here people, just cold hard reality, that will only become more real.

According to Hillary Clinton: "Strike a woman and strike all of society," but no-one cares that the prison-industrial complex is showing systemic-gendered violence toward men here.

They're filling up the prisons now for the same reason Hitler did in the 1930s: to have a poole of cheap labour ready to make war supplies for the upcoming next world war:

Just recently someone gave me a stack of printouts from the internet telling me that federal prisoners are bonded. That means that they are a souce of commodity on the market. I had a real hard time reading the info as it was not written in terms that I understand. I dont know if this article is true or not but sure would like to find out. I think it would take a fiancial lawyer to read the stuff and interpret it.

article title: Jails, Prisons, Bonds

Research Explaining how Living Souls are Made Prisoners for the Making of Billions of Dollars for the Slave Making Governments and their Banking Henchmen Through Incarcerations.

OWNERS OF THE PRISON SYSTEM IN AMERICA

Profiteering off the prisoners / Prime stockholders in Correction Corp. of America / Funding Streams Exposed / Corporate Public Private Scheme Exploiting, Criminalizing Vulnerable People
Research and excerpts from LETTERS FROM JAIL
From: Lynn Schmaltz (lynnsch@spinn.net)
I had many opportunities to educate women on the monetary system of jail. The moment an order is written, whether it’s a warrant or a traffic ticket, or whatever, the money machine is activated. Every prisoner has a monetary value to our government whether its local, county, state or federal. Bonds are written based on the person’s name and social security number and are sold through a brokerage firm such as AG Edwards or Merrill Lynch who has the contract to sell all the prison bonds for the city, county, state or federal prisons. Over 50% of the money market bonds right now are purchased in Japan or China. I’ve been told by researchers that Walmart and, used to be, Kmart also purchase these bonds, Walmart mostly doing so by emptying out bank accounts at night. Both companies are fronts for enormous money machines.
The way the bond works is that a monetary value is placed on the alleged crime and then factored the way banks factor their money. In other words if a person is convicted of a felony the ‘value’ would be $4 million. The county/city/ state then multiplies it by ten, so the bond that goes out for sale with the prisoner’s name and social security number is a short-term ‘promissory’ note. It’s offered at $40 million. Perhaps an investor will offer 40% of the $40 million, or $16 million. Once this ‘promissory note’ of the face value of $40 million reaches the banks it is then multiplied again by 200 to 300% and sold as bank securities. For those of you who wonder why the US has more people in prison per capita than any other nation on earth, you’ll begin to understand how we can have a weakening economy and still fund wars overseas. It’s all based on prisoners....in other words, prison for profit.
Knowing all this and knowing that a prisoner can have a ‘net worth’ of say, $10,000 per day in the money markets, helped me explain to many bewildered women why they were in jail. We were only merchandise in a warehouse. The storage was pretty cheap; one woman while in jail researched the cost of feeding prisoners per day which ranged from 74 cents to $2.72 per prisoner per day.

This has been going on for a while, the state is complicit in
sending people to prison.I suspect the Governers & politicians
get 'kick backs'or shares in these prison industries!!

[Cidersomerset]

This is a bit satirical but makes a serious point, the commedians comments are
krass and they get more sober as it goes along !! The figures are staggering.
Lincoln was supposed to have abolished slavery....Working toward reabilitation
is one thing, but this is pure 'proffiteering for some fat cat investors !!

Please note: when Stephen Fry talks about college and 17 year olds, he's talking about the British system not the American.

Every American citizen is a commodity for the United States and its Government.

I have met very few people than know let alone understand this.

It is very clearly written in the Bill Of Rights. You have to read the whole bill and the amendments . . . of course the meaning is difficult because of the way it is written. Also, of course this little fact is rarely brought up by anyone who is in control.

How many of you remember every morning at a school pledging your allegiance to the ‘flag of the United States of America’? Have you ever really stopped to think what we where pledging to?

Next statement will not be popular . . . . but what the heck.

Last time I looked most (not all of course) of the people in prison put themselves in there. They know the laws and chose to break them. Also American prisons are far better than most around the world. And as I said in my earlier post, some people actually prefer living in the prison system than taking care of themselves.

I and every American who pay their taxes pay for those individuals to live in this system. So does it bother me that they have to work to earn ‘a living’ while in prison? Nope.

Prisoners are not victims . . . . but the people who they committed the crime against are.

Examples of medical doctors' pay in California prisons.

Prison Doctor
Earnings: $784,596
Where: High Desert State Prison [HDSP], CA

HDSP has a 35 bed Correctional Treatment Center (CTC) to provide for the health care needs of the inmates. http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Facilities_Locator/HDSP.html

Jeffrey W. Rohlfing works at an overcrowded, 4,000-plus inmate facility in the middle of the California desert. The $784,596 figure includes overtime, bonuses, and other compensation, in addition to salary, but it’s quite a jump from 2004 when Rohlfing earned a mere $132,854. The pay hike is especially surprising since Rohlfing was put on probation for five years in 1997 after being found guilty of unprofessional conduct and impairment due to mental illness.

Prison Psychiatrist
Earnings: $737,057
Where: Stockton, California

Even in prison, shrinks rake it in. Of the $737,057 that Fong Lai received in 2010, $594,976 was for more than 2 1/2 years worth of unused sick time when he left the job in 2010. Still, in the last full year he worked, his base salary was $224,306 in addition to overtime pay of $72,308.

Dr. Fong Lai, MD, practices General Practice in Stockton, CA . Dr. Lai received his medical degree from Natl Taiwan Univ Coll Of Med, Taipei, Taiwan (385-02 Prior 1/71).

Prison Dentist
Earnings: $621,971
Where: Avenal State Prison, CA

Filling inmates’ cavities can pay off. Timothy Malan earned $621,971 in 2009, although more than half of that was from accrued leave he received in one lump when he left the department. If he blows that in one fell swoop, he can always rely on his pension, which according to a prison spokesperson, is 42 percent of his highest year’s base salary, or about $140,429 per year for the rest of his life.
