Fine post about another development (or devolutionary step) of the USA. The ongoing privatization of prisons has nothing to do with justice. It's singular purpose is profit, and that actually results in more injustice.

And you are spot-on in your observation that a complete roll-back is needed. Not only with regard to the military and prison industrial complexes, but with regard to the financial system, the educational system, and more.

The problems are systemic; therefore, minor, incremental changes will have no effect. The country needs systemic change. That's tough to come by, and often it is not achieved without revolution. It will be interesting to see what changes will be brought about. And a little unsettling.

Keep up the good work in the struggle for systemic change. And Full Steem Ahead.
