BIDEN and KAMALA both created this also back in the 90’s when they initiated “3 strikes law” along with the uprising of private owned prisons SMH...now Biden wants to look like the good guy, and start reforming the prison problem but we ALL know he’s a crook along with the rest of them..
Yeah, starts to make sense with all this asian hate crimes on the rise and how they want a race war to further put people in jail and deepen their pockets.
what? there is no motivation for leftists to reduce crime, they are easing sentences on everything, and yes there is an incentive for private prisons, its called removing the criminals from society
@Thomas Mitchell underfunded? the left just wants to poor endless funding and massivley raise taxes, all your ideas are is to throw more money away, private prisons reduce costs on the state, not something you could even comprehend
I worked as a medic in a local private jail and i wound up leaving partly because I just couldn't stand the medical neglect. We didn't do anything against the law, everyone I worked with at the jail was a truly upstanding person who treated the inmates with respect. But the corporation that owned the prison would deny addicts with methadone prescriptions. They would cut services over and over. They had NO rehabilitation programs. It was the best I've seen at a private jail and it still sucked. Private programs should always be looked at when they offer to replace public ones under this lens - is this an industry with "constant growth"? Schools don't have growth. Functional Police agencies don't have year on year profits. Nor do ambulances or hospitals. Prisons should focus on REDUCING growth, not increasing. It's such a simple concept. And yet, we still don't seem to get it
Exactly. They are robbing people of their freedom and dignity and stealing billions of dollars of tax payer money. I am completely shocked by in the comment section here, the "crimes" people got locked up for. Empty weed bag, not pulling over soon enough for the cops ... Disgusting.
One of the worst things American has done. A few things I’m embarrassed over as a American and that’s private prisons, slavery, and how we bombed Japan into submission with nukes. The Japan example is embarrassing to me as a human but I don’t have any alternative for what happened.
@@Stoptheliars as far as dropping the A-bombs on Japan, what makes it worse is that I learned Japan was actually trying to negotiate a surrender with America through Great Britain, but we wanted to play with our new toy. Absolutely heinous. In light of that, when I was serving in the National Guard, my company had the privilege of training with the Japanese Ground Defence Force. At a dinner put on by our hosts, I was chatting with a Japanese counterpart. We had something in common. Both our fathers fought in WWII. I express my regret for the war and apologies for the tragedies our country was responsible for when he shared with me that his Grandparents had actually lived in Hiroshima. What a privilege, in some small way, to bring a little bit of healing to such deep and tragic wounds.
Private prisons in the US are the best run and cheaper then state run institutions. They only run low and rearly medium security institutions the idiots at Vice don't know that Commiefornia doesn't even allow private prisons and that the awful videos they show are from there. You can look at the surveys of prisoners to see what Prisons are the worst and they are all state run. Also 'rehabilitation' programs are how private prisons make money since they charge the state for programmers like that.
The Governor of each state is directly connected. Guards can't make enough money so contraband runs rampant. It's a huge scam. Prison buys potatoes. Warden pays for rotten ones. Warden shares the profit of the difference
F*** that. Murder them. It would be inhumane to incarcerate them like they do to working class Americans. Furthermore, why would be nationalize slave labor camps? They need to be demolished or re-purposed. America accounts for 4.25% of the worlds population and incarcerates 25% of the worlds prisoners. This is not the land of the free.
I cannot possibly imagine the horror of being detained to a prison, especially if you have not done anything serious. When I did my mandatory service in the military I remember waking up and not remembering where I am for a few seconds. The fact that all these guys will have the same feeling but in a prison cell for years to come, locked like animals, is painful to watch. To the families I say Stay strong and keep fighting for what is just. And thank you Vice for touching important issues instead of choosing the easy way.
That was an empathetic and wise comment. I would like to add that it's Never Ever quiet. That would make me crazy. And no, earplugs won't solve it. Often the temperature in the South reaches 100°. Even guards suffer. Or up North it's freezing. Environmental issues are not addressed such as toxic mold (after Katrina it was really bad. And before the cruel comments about prison being cushy it was staff that was forced down to try to mitigate it) Water has tested for bacteria and heavy metals. Etc. But. If Securus can't monetize something forget it.
I told my unruly nephews,trouble is easy to get into,hard to get out of.Don't do anything to find yourself in jail/prison.I'm for prison reform/rehabliatation,but it's up to the individual person to stay out of trouble.
@@timchamberlin9280 mate no one is saying that people should not be punished. But when you have 25% of the world inmate population in your country, a country that represents just 5% of all people on earth, it's time to stop. What the documentary is actually saying is that people who did minor crimes are punished disproportionately for profit.
@@timchamberlin9280 I have never been to prison and neither has anyone from my family so I admit that you are more experienced and your opinion holds more weight. Maybe my comment on minor crimes misguided the conversation on a different topic though. Our conversation here is if private companies should have the right to run prisons and hold people in horrible conditions for profit.
I found it stressful even watching this, let alone having to deal with it. I really feel sorry for the people who have to live with this assault on privacy, dignity and human rights.
@@johnjohnson360 In no way am I condoning or justifying the behavior they're being punished for. And I'm not saying they shouldn't face consequences for what they've done. But if you want to rehabilitate someone, this is not the right way to go about it. This is cruel and unusual punishment only benefitting the corporations profiting from it.
@@warbledurbler7905 not to mention alot of people got charged with erroneous charges during the trump administration that would be easy to stick and get someone on a deportation situation withought true justification. This was part of the initiative by racist america against the poor immigrants born into harsh conditions enough enough to decide to leave and become a target dummy in America. It's bigger than you think And more cruel.
I lived in a county in upstate N.Y. that's practically un- inhabited. The old county jail was in such bad shape that the county had to pay the state every year for a permit to operate it as a condemned structure. The county government opted to borrow against the budget for decades in advance to build a high tech facility expressly to make money from other counties, by housing their inmate overflow. When this failed to happen immediately, county law enforcement began to incarcerate innocent local citizens on trumped- up charges, to justify the expense of building the useless jail. I was one of the many who found themselves routinely rounded up and "housed" there, once because I was robbed by my landlord. A county DSS supervisor who was behind many of the false arrests was eventually arrested himself, for felony embezzlement and thievery. It sucks when the law doesn't obey the law.
What county?… (i’m guessing Adirondacks… Near Canada. Would love to move up there) ..I’m in Albany. And how can they run a structure if it’s condemned 😳
@@fern7306 The county is Seneca. Do not move there, unless by chance you are a corrections officer. That county has the jail that I mentioned, also a medium/ max prison, (Five Points) and one of those "boot camps" for drug offenders (Willard Shock). Pretty sure that there are more incarcerated people in Seneca county than there are free people. The way that they could operate a condemned jail is called "corruption". (bribes, kickbacks, etc.)
@@AlaskaTrapper Don't live there now, but Seneca county is where they love to lock everyone up. Finger lakes region. My ex wife attended Potsdam State, her dad had a farm near Old Hermon, my family had a farm in Lewis county, south of Lowville.
Equal to public or private schools. Schools get a certain amount of money for every single child, that's why most schools have a strict policy regarding absences. If a child is absent the school doesn't get the money. The same is true for public and private prisons, they need prisoners to get paid, it is SICKENING!!! We need to change this IMMEDIATELY!
Yes, but this can't happen overnight. We can see the debacle of 'bail reform' and how it is incentivizes lawlessness. I don't think people in jail for marijuana should be out of jail (barring violent past offenses and cartel/OC connections). The border-this is out of hand. I have very strong feelings about this but I always wondered why the manufacturing done in Bangladesh, China, etc, was not done in Mexico and the rest of Central America. Maybe the gov't & shot-callers above them want perpetual chaos Having mass invasion through Mexico with those who do not care about the US Constituion is being done deliberately.
@@arminiusthehibernian7282 Uh, I think you phrased that second sentence differently than you intended. Not sure what you mean about the border either, unless it's the usual fearmongering.
@@nathanlevesque7812Marijuana is a psychoactive drug and people are selling it are drug dealers and they most likely also doing and sell other drugs like meth and fentanly, should be remain locked up.
It is almost funny how the US has become such a disgusting corporate dystopia in many aspects of life, then the reporting ends on "what if other countries do the same".
what biden did, while good, only affected something like 3% of those imprisoned. Heck, even I was jailed for a week pending a court date for paraphernalia and lost everything, job, home, etc, over a fine for an empty weed bag. And I have no criminal record.
3% is huge when the actual Wardens of these prisons are so against it they would try with all their power to keep anyone locked up and the money flowing. Empty cots mean money not being gained instead of it being a positive look for society. Ya know, the less criminals, the better, aka empty prisons.
@MadMrMatter it's about profits, not society. It's why the US has the most incarcerated and why the US pays more for less healthcare, why it's a million dollar buy-in for congress to get on a committee, etc, aka late stage capitalism. 'Merica
I’ve personally experienced this with a witness who’s name I still remember as a cancer patient in county jail after being set up by a homeless shelter due to a warrant for missing a court date (benign) on a Friday…. The following Monday I’d already earlier the previous 2 weeks made a court date motion to quash the warrant with my attorneys…. They’re all a drain on the tax system, the DEA, DOJ, the police…. Complete waste in 2022
But in china have concentration camps against inocent people because of covid 19,in people asynthomatic .Have the excuse figth covid zero did victmis Lost your job and freedom in name of life and science.
I'm from Chicago and I've experienced the exact same , SEVERAL times. It's all about $$$ In Illinois they will sentence someone (for something petty) for let's say 1 year in DOC, but you will get released after 61 days bc after 61 days they get paid.(alot of $ for each year of incarceration) then they will release you on parole expecting you to commit another petty crime and then go back through the system, give you a new charge and receive more money. It is a constant circle. People always told me once you get that DOC number your life will never be the same. Thankfully I've for the most part changed my ways and have not been arrested in 12 and 1/2 years. I have been to Cook county jail in Chicago over 30 times I've been to prison six times. It all boils down to money. We are nothing but a paycheck to these people. F the government F the system
I worked at "kids for cash" facility PACC/Mid Atlantic youth services in 19/20. I literally seen them holding kids doing nothing for rehabilitation just because our privately ran facilitie was privately owned. Common sense they're counting on kids in being in that building
That's really sad; what they're doing is creating angry, anxious kids who aren't learning anything but that the system will screw you if you don't do it first. The mental health pressures on these kids has to be outlawed.
@@GladysAlicea I literally watched these kids become institutionalized in front of me. Our pay was so low and such a stressful job they hired anyone. I did time but I'm not a convicted felon but I know a few that worked there. And the city 15 minutes down the highway is a crime drug riddled city. So they'd hire anyone. Seen staff let the kids fight, and.....It was crazy not expected
I hope all of the criminals against God and humanity/ conscienceless, greed and evil-driven, demonically-obsessed homeland terrorists involved in the Satanic plague of “kids for cash” schemes have their very existences permanently ended by God Himself, in His own fierce rage, as deserved, soon, on His Armageddon Day. It will be soon. (Psalm 37:10)
If you're pre-trial (and 2 years is a violation of the 6th amendment) then the shackles have nothing to do with rehabilitation. That's a post conviction thing. This is extortion. They should be charged under the RICO act.
Because it goes against their narrative. Mass incarceration from the war on drugs is due to the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. Which led to massive amounts of black people being jailed for decades for minor drug offences. If you want to know who drafted it and pushed it through senate. It was done by a 51 year old senator called Joe Biden.
private jails?! that's the most horrific idea. I really couldn't believe it when I heared about it for the first time. I'll never ever come to USA after I get to know this. Just imagine the number of imprisoned ppl who are in these jails just to make jail owner money. Imagine all the injustice and negligence these prisoners are experiencing. very shocking
My high school was a charter school. It was the best school I could ever ask for. Far better than public school. But, my middle school was also a charter school and sexually and physically abused me. So. It's not all charter schools but definitely most of them.
@@Moyjgc101 They are funded, ran and held by private companies. They get tax dollars to operate the school but they don't have to adhere to the same rules & regulations as a traditional school. It's the same for private prisions. They skimp on everything to turn a higher profit.
I worked at a charter school for “at risk youth” called Community Education Partners, which is thankfully no longer in business. I completely agree with the similarities. The “school” was really just a minimum security prison. It even had the panopticon style design that many prisons have. They were paid by the state per student, and many of the students there weren’t bad by any means - they (the overwhelming majority of whom were African American) had committed petty infractions and some just had undiagnosed mental illnesses. The school cut costs by getting cheap food (I remember them getting spoiled milk one time), school security could get needlessly physical, and even teachers were paid terribly (I slept on an air mattress and had to survive primarily on ramen noodles). We don’t need capitalism at all, but we especially don’t need it in schools or prisons.
As young black man my 5th grade teacher actually told me about this and it’s kinda scary to see it come to fruition. “There building more prisons for y’all” damn…
On a different note I'm in my fifties and the best teacher I ever had was my fourth grade teacher. Mrs. Moore She really cared for the class that was all white except for one student and my best friend that year Raymond Rimmer Funny how some memories stick with you.
My father died when I was 4 years old from heart complications in jail. His cellmate kept begging them to help him but they just stood there and talked and watched.
Damn. House arrest has gotten ridiculous. When i was on it for a month in 2009 it was just a black box that would alert your supervisor if you left your property. My supervisor rarely contacted me and i only had police check on me once.
@@Jesusisyhvh1 possession of drugs. I went to rehab voluntarily but left after 6 months. The director vouched for me saying i left due to family issues but did great and the judge just sentenced me to a month on house arrest. This was in 2007-2009 tho when they severely sentenced anybody for having drugs. Nowadays you get nothing but a fine unless it's a ridiculous amount.
The profit motive for private prisons, roads, hospitals, services, etc severely diminishes the social utility these public-serving institutions provide. Maximizing revenue and cutting costs is antithetical to healthcare, rehabilitation, proper social services. The government doesn't have to make a profit, which is the whole point
"Incentives To keep prisoners in there, rather than rehabilitating..."Is somebody in US actually been thinking?? "It could be that for profit prisons lead more prisoners!?!?!" WOW WHAT AN INSIGHT!
so.. i came across this story, extremely well thought & to the point, which reminded me of my own time spent inside... 3yrs between three different counties & a state facility which was privatized, rough shape & its "staff" varied from the those who wanted to be there & those who hated it & took out their frustrations on the inmates... I personally kept myself in books & programs if the facility had them which was one out of the four places i spent my time... how i got myself there was my own doing, i blame no one but myself & the broken system that took advantaged of me since i had no money... my crime was simple, traffic violation, i didnt pull over till i was in a lighted area which was few miles so.. flee & alluding was my charge but not after the beating i took by their hands which ended up putting me in the ER & rehabilitation... then the incomitance or should i say, the corruption of the public defenders office... eitherway,,, i did my time & since, i havent left my home in over 8yrs now besides my reg monthly Doc visit & the store which i do on the same day... the fear of what i went through over a traffic stop, is clearly minimal to what i witnessed being inside... i will fight till the death before i let a crooked cop put cuffs on me again... prove me wrong...
All you needed to do was pull over, put your hands on the steering wheel, and stay silent. What fool drives for blocks or beyond?! I, as a woman leaving a Walgreens got stopped by police. I had just come out of the hospital for brain surgery. I even has my medical (discharge papers) in the car. The police refused to look at them or my bandaged head. I was very polite and compliant but still cuffed. I stayed quiet and they let me go with no fan fare. The problem is that many people don't follow the cops directive and get belligerent. I wanted to swear and tell them off for cuffing me while being polite with no criminal history ever but I held my tongue.
@@laurens.7510 ignorant. You apparently don’t know how many women are raped or sexually assaulted by cops during traffic stops. Also this person should not have been beaten.

@@syasyaishavingfun yes it is, i am confident that those who are working in the system to correct these issues will prevail in the end... but it wont be easy or quick by any means...
My house arrest monitor was $17/day when I was in Marion County Community Corrections for 97 days and $15/day when I was in Hamilton County Community Corrections for 120 days That does not include bond or probation and court costs or time served in the actual jails.
The system is all about $ and nothing else. If you don't pay the fees you'd get locked back up and they'd make hundreds a day off you, or stay free and they're still making money off you.
@Phillip Delgado A private prison is owned by a third party contracted by the government. The rules were almost non existent, I've seen corrections officers beat inmates, certain rights were ignored such as religion.
Want to fix the system? Remove for profit bail, private incarceration facilities, and remove tax credits as well as incentives for companies or individuals to implement government installations or enforcement of any kind - then all that's left is to do is teach the least educated & cooperative and most volatile human beings how not to indulge themselves with subjects or substances for instant gratification. Piece of cake.
For profit prisons that don't rehabilitate should spell out the issue without any extra words. They're incentivized to make the minimal impact on prisoners lives, minimal rehabilitation because in the end that means more income for them. Empty beds don't pay wages.
@@0xsergy For profit prisons house about 3% of total prison population and all surveys of prisoners show they are miles better than state run hell holes. "They're incentivized to make the minimal impact on prisoners lives" well 99% of private prisons are minimal security so most people are not there for that long BUT, since you charge extra for any additional programs they usually offer a lot of extra activities and rehabilitation. And yes empty beds can make you money depending on the service contract the prisons have with the state, for example you in most cases you would sign a fixed capacity contract where they have to have for example 100 available beds and it's up to the state to fill that capacity if they don't they still play and prisons make more money if they are empty.

Majority of people who go to prison come out worse than when they entered. Traumatized from the horrific experiences they go through.

We need to help our people here in the USA
Canada doesn't have private prisons any more they ended their contract with the only private run facility in Penetang back in 2006 mainly because they saw how bad the results were compared to a publicly funded one.
You're right, and I hate to say it, but I read a lot about the world's issues and also watch tons of global docs Nothing else needs to happen, because it's only going to get worse. All is being done with certain goals in mind, and TPTB, (big banks, the wealthy, the corrupt, our legal and tax systems, etc.), pretty much met their goals over the past century, and are just creating new ones. If we don't stand up now, and I mean everyone, it's game over. Of course, there'll be many, many deaths. Sadly, those are the options.

I don’t think private prisons are the problem, it’s them getting. Away with horrible conditions, it needs to be looked over more, I think getting rid of them all together would be to much of a tax burden all of us would have to pay, but they shouldn’t be able to have people living in such horrible conditions

GQP believed that by privatizing as many industries as possible will set a market rate for everything if there were honest competition. Well, GQP got paid to make sure there weren't honest competition and of course, the tax payer benefited.

At least GQP can claim they've made key people in those industries Millionaires and GQP donor/voter/supporters for life.
cops don't generally want to lock you away. many realize how fucked the system is and only resort to using it if they can't figure out other solutions. sometimes though there are no other solutions(if your mistake is that big, aka too big for an individual cop to help much).
@@0xsergy well yeah but for example take a bar fight, a lot of times these people should be sent to rehab and not prison but the courts and prosecutors dont have an option for that qnd there is not a parallel social worker mechanism so we do have a lot of trapped cops as well.
The real problem seems to stem from economics, lack of proper leadership, and disappropriate sentencing across the board. Legislative action will be needed to effectuate any type of change on the matter and a change in what we as Americans are exposed to in the media.
He’s (Biden) is one of the major architects of this mess. Let’s thank OUR politicians for doing what we don’t want them to do.. to all politicians, thank you and I wish you wealth in all your investments that hurt every American.
Exactly. I find this comical that Vice is trying to make Biden look like a good guy when it was Biden who wrote the 1994 crime bill that specifically targeted impovershied communities and was the sole cause of the massive disproportionate incarceration of minorities and once incarcerated they were able to use them as free labor which is modern slavery. Biden literally helped create this mess and you think he's going to end it? 🤦🏽♂️😂🤣

Mass Incarceration 2.0 Their Bottom Line "There's only two ways to make money. One is to increase your revenue and one is to decrease your expenses. And in the case of private prisons increasing revenue means more bodies behind bars and decreasing expenses means lower care and quality care for those people who are in your custody."
You aren’t free to commit crimes, why are you more worried about the well being of criminals instead of the people they victimize? If anything they treat these animals too well lol…

@Rs1 people that are wrongfully imprisoned, were in jail, before DNA tech was introduced.. it really don't happen any more.. Yes there's a 140 to 150 people a year that gets exonerated, but they are all old cases that were held before 1989. Since then 2400 cases were overturned or exonerated.. Very few if any were committed after they used DNA tech.. roughly 10 to 15 million people are arrested in the US per year.. I'll bet you mess your job up more than a 150 times a year, (if you're even employed) and that's only doing your job 5 days a week for a year.. calm down with your crying about people that probably committed the crime, but the police gathered the wrong blood or the blood samples were mislabeled. You are aware that part of the exonerations, is problems with paperwork.. or they were misrepresented.. You need to look into the details of why these cases are overturned instead of just looking at the numbers.. People like you are the reason there is so much misinformation..
This is also an issue with residential treatment facilities for youth know as the Troubled Teen Industry. They're paid 100-500k per year by the state/insurance to kidnap kids and will make any excuse to hold them. Abuse is very common. Kids were being roofied and raped at the facility I was sent to. The stress and malnutrition almost killed me. I weighed less than 90lbs at 5'11. This was in 2012 and many of these facilities still exist.

Illegal immigration is illegal so ending up in basically immigrant prison shouldn’t be a surprise. You did it knowing it was against the law. How about doing it the legal way? Yes, it takes time but at least you aren’t committing a crime. I think everyone coming in should have an American citizen sponsor proving a place to stay. Also, every person needs to submit a resume showing skills and experience, no matter what kind. We just want people who will be assets….teachers, seamstresses, construction, mechanics, restaurant managers, building, nurses, sale people, etc. we don’t want immigrants just taking free handouts. Also, why would anyone move here and not even attempt to learn any English. It’s fine speaking Spanish but our legal language isn’t Spanish, it’s English. My dads best friend came here legally from Mexico about 30 years ago as a kid. He owns the only auto repair shop in town and also one of two internet service providers. He hates all the illegal immigration because "we Americans pay for them. We have our own poor and homeless people to take care of without taking in mexicos poor and homeless people." We’d love to have families like Abel’s come to America

Wait a another 10 years for your paperwork to through? I’m not saying illegal is always the way to go, but as a desperate parent, if that is the option I have, I would take it. The US turned away boatloads of Jewish kids who were able to get out of Europe in WWII. It’s looked at as a stain in our history. Yet kids being sent to the boarder who are escaping from drugs, violence, starvation, and war are detained and most times sent back. We haven’t learned. The system is broken. I don’t have all the answers, and won’t pretend to, but having compassion in life always helps.
Michigan is riddled with them I was in one. Since I had no money I was stuck being fed 1200 calories a day at 6 4 220 pounds. I was locked in a cell 20 hours a day. The wacked thing is they wanted me to pay them for being locked up. This place is in Ottawa County

I think he set the cameras up to show how they constantly call him but I also misunderstood at first and thought the cameras were part of the deal. I'm sure that's coming soon too though.
the direction the united states has gone in recent decades is terrifying and no other country needs to be following our lead wtf. private prisons is insane.
This was a powerful piece, but I have question because I’m simply curious about the calculation. At one point they make the claim “80% of undocumented immigrants are in detention facilities”, I’m just curious if these immigrants are undocumented, how can you now about a percentage? I do know there are ways to calculate/speculate on the number of undocumented peoples but there must be a high degree of uncertainty, no?
I was in a private prison in Texas 2011 for a year before being shipped back to a local facility where I would get released. My charge was possession of Marijuana over 2 oz. (It was just under 4 oz to be more exact). I got shipped out there because I got in a fight but what was u supposed to do let them stomp or poke me? Where I was the guards could literraly just beat on somebody for the smallest of reasons. Another thing I noticed is the people who didn't have family to keep in contact anymore would slowly get treated worst and worst. I believe it's because they feel the person is more alone and would be less likely to get sued or something like that I mean why else...
Here in Canada the whole system is broken to. Probably not to the extent of USA tho. But ya I was put on probation for putting a hole in a wall when I was drunk. In and out of jail 11 times. I had at least 8 different probation officers. 5 years later finally off probation. Probation officers CAN be a huge fucking part of the problem. Before I was about to get off probation, my probation officer tried everything she could to breach me again. But I was fucking done with their bullshit and started recording everything and even brought a witness to my meetings.
America needs to be investigated for human rights violations. Each time I learn about America it seems like no one cares about humans. It’s all about how much money can we milk.
Wow, what a great idea. Successful rehab ensures 'customers' never return. More recidivism means more profit. That's sure to sort everything out with society.

When prisons are run for profit, there is no motive to reduce crime or have fair trials.
And keeping education underfunded just guarantees the crime stays high which feeds the beast. It's calculated.
Yeah, starts to make sense with all this asian hate crimes on the rise and how they want a race war to further put people in jail and deepen their pockets.
There is no such thing as a fair trial when you’re in a justice system that has been proven it does not work
what? there is no motivation for leftists to reduce crime, they are easing sentences on everything, and yes there is an incentive for private prisons, its called removing the criminals from society
@Thomas Mitchell underfunded? the left just wants to poor endless funding and massivley raise taxes, all your ideas are is to throw more money away, private prisons reduce costs on the state, not something you could even comprehend

I worked as a medic in a local private jail and i wound up leaving partly because I just couldn't stand the medical neglect. We didn't do anything against the law, everyone I worked with at the jail was a truly upstanding person who treated the inmates with respect. But the corporation that owned the prison would deny addicts with methadone prescriptions. They would cut services over and over. They had NO rehabilitation programs. It was the best I've seen at a private jail and it still sucked.
Private programs should always be looked at when they offer to replace public ones under this lens - is this an industry with "constant growth"? Schools don't have growth. Functional Police agencies don't have year on year profits. Nor do ambulances or hospitals. Prisons should focus on REDUCING growth, not increasing.
It's such a simple concept. And yet, we still don't seem to get it
Dude, try a public prison. Try no running water for months.

One of the worst things American has done. A few things I’m embarrassed over as a American and that’s private prisons, slavery, and how we bombed Japan into submission with nukes. The Japan example is embarrassing to me as a human but I don’t have any alternative for what happened.
@@Stoptheliars as far as dropping the A-bombs on Japan, what makes it worse is that I learned Japan was actually trying to negotiate a surrender with America through Great Britain, but we wanted to play with our new toy. Absolutely heinous. In light of that, when I was serving in the National Guard, my company had the privilege of training with the Japanese Ground Defence Force. At a dinner put on by our hosts, I was chatting with a Japanese counterpart. We had something in common. Both our fathers fought in WWII. I express my regret for the war and apologies for the tragedies our country was responsible for when he shared with me that his Grandparents had actually lived in Hiroshima. What a privilege, in some small way, to bring a little bit of healing to such deep and tragic wounds.
It is sad to see a developed country locked up many people for minor violations and profiting from it.They will not stop this since it is about money.

Private prisons in the US are the best run and cheaper then state run institutions. They only run low and rearly medium security institutions the idiots at Vice don't know that Commiefornia doesn't even allow private prisons and that the awful videos they show are from there. You can look at the surveys of prisoners to see what Prisons are the worst and they are all state run. Also 'rehabilitation' programs are how private prisons make money since they charge the state for programmers like that.
Ummm..... Wipepo?
The CEOs of these private prison companies should be incarcerated, and their property nationalized.
The Governor of each state is directly connected. Guards can't make enough money so contraband runs rampant. It's a huge scam.
Prison buys potatoes.
Warden pays for rotten ones. Warden shares the profit of the difference

F*** that. Murder them. It would be inhumane to incarcerate them like they do to working class Americans. Furthermore, why would be nationalize slave labor camps? They need to be demolished or re-purposed. America accounts for 4.25% of the worlds population and incarcerates 25% of the worlds prisoners. This is not the land of the free.
How about the politicans who create bills that put people in there in the first place like Biden.

I cannot possibly imagine the horror of being detained to a prison, especially if you have not done anything serious. When I did my mandatory service in the military I remember waking up and not remembering where I am for a few seconds. The fact that all these guys will have the same feeling but in a prison cell for years to come, locked like animals, is painful to watch. To the families I say Stay strong and keep fighting for what is just. And thank you Vice for touching important issues instead of choosing the easy way.
That was an empathetic and wise comment.
I would like to add that it's Never Ever quiet. That would make me crazy. And no, earplugs won't solve it.
Often the temperature in the South reaches 100°. Even guards suffer. Or up North it's freezing. Environmental issues are not addressed such as toxic mold (after Katrina it was really bad. And before the cruel comments about prison being cushy it was staff that was forced down to try to mitigate it)

But when you have 25% of the world inmate population in your country, a country that represents just 5% of all people on earth, it's time to stop.

@@timchamberlin9280 I have never been to prison and neither has anyone from my family so I admit that you are more experienced and your opinion holds more weight. Maybe my comment on minor crimes misguided the conversation on a different topic though. Our conversation here is if private companies should have the right to run prisons and hold people in horrible conditions for profit.

This is cruel and unusual punishment only benefitting the corporations profiting from it.
@@warbledurbler7905 not to mention alot of people got charged with erroneous charges during the trump administration that would be easy to stick and get someone on a deportation situation withought true justification.

It's bigger than you think And more cruel.
I lived in a county in upstate N.Y. that's practically un- inhabited. The old county jail was in such bad shape that the county had to pay the state every year for a permit to operate it as a condemned structure. The county government opted to borrow against the budget for decades in advance to build a high tech facility expressly to make money from other counties, by housing their inmate overflow. When this failed to happen immediately, county law enforcement began to incarcerate innocent local citizens on trumped- up charges, to justify the expense of building the useless jail. I was one of the many who found themselves routinely rounded up and "housed" there, once because I was robbed by my landlord. A county DSS supervisor who was behind many of the false arrests was eventually arrested himself, for felony embezzlement and thievery. It sucks when the law doesn't obey the law.
What county?… (i’m guessing Adirondacks… Near Canada. Would love to move up there) ..I’m in Albany.
And how can they run a structure if it’s condemned 😳
I live in Canton Ny. You near that?
@@fern7306 The county is Seneca. Do not move there, unless by chance you are a corrections officer. That county has the jail that I mentioned, also a medium/ max prison, (Five Points) and one of those "boot camps" for drug offenders (Willard Shock). Pretty sure that there are more incarcerated people in Seneca county than there are free people. The way that they could operate a condemned jail is called "corruption". (bribes, kickbacks, etc.)

Equal to public or private schools. Schools get a certain amount of money for every single child, that's why most schools have a strict policy regarding absences. If a child is absent the school doesn't get the money. The same is true for public and private prisons, they need prisoners to get paid, it is SICKENING!!! We need to change this IMMEDIATELY!
Yes, but this can't happen overnight. We can see the debacle of 'bail reform' and how it is incentivizes lawlessness. I don't think people in jail for marijuana should be out of jail (barring violent past offenses and cartel/OC connections). The border-this is out of hand.

3% is huge when the actual Wardens of these prisons are so against it they would try with all their power to keep anyone locked up and the money flowing. Empty cots mean money not being gained instead of it being a positive look for society. Ya know, the less criminals, the better, aka empty prisons.

In Illinois they will sentence someone (for something petty) for let's say 1 year in DOC, but you will get released after 61 days bc after 61 days they get paid.(alot of $ for each year of incarceration) then they will release you on parole expecting you to commit another petty crime and then go back through the system, give you a new charge and receive more money. It is a constant circle. People always told me once you get that DOC number your life will never be the same. Thankfully I've for the most part changed my ways and have not been arrested in 12 and 1/2 years. I have been to Cook county jail in Chicago over 30 times I've been to prison six times.

Because it goes against their narrative. Mass incarceration from the war on drugs is due to the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. Which led to massive amounts of black people being jailed for decades for minor drug offences. If you want to know who drafted it and pushed it through senate. It was done by a 51 year old senator called Joe Biden.

What’s crazy is how similar private prisons and charter schools are
Why do you say that I’m curious
Yes that’s wat I said.
My high school was a charter school. It was the best school I could ever ask for. Far better than public school.
But, my middle school was also a charter school and sexually and physically abused me. So. It's not all charter schools but definitely most of them.
@@Moyjgc101 They are funded, ran and held by private companies. They get tax dollars to operate the school but they don't have to adhere to the same rules & regulations as a traditional school. It's the same for private prisions. They skimp on everything to turn a higher profit.
I worked at a charter school for “at risk youth” called Community Education Partners, which is thankfully no longer in business. I completely agree with the similarities. The “school” was really just a minimum security prison. It even had the panopticon style design that many prisons have. They were paid by the state per student, and many of the students there weren’t bad by any means - they (the overwhelming majority of whom were African American) had committed petty infractions and some just had undiagnosed mental illnesses. The school cut costs by getting cheap food (I remember them getting spoiled milk one time), school security could get needlessly physical, and even teachers were paid terribly (I slept on an air mattress and had to survive primarily on ramen noodles). We don’t need capitalism at all, but we especially don’t need it in schools or prisons.

I personally kept myself in books & programs if the facility had them which was one out of the four places i spent my time... how i got myself there was my own doing, i blame no one but myself & the broken system that took advantaged of me since i had no money... my crime was simple, traffic violation, i didnt pull over till i was in a lighted area which was few miles so.. flee & alluding was my charge but not after the beating i took by their hands which ended up putting me in the ER & rehabilitation... then the incomitance or should i say, the corruption of the public defenders office... eitherway,,, i did my time & since, i havent left my home in over 8yrs now besides my reg monthly Doc visit & the store which i do on the same day... the fear of what i went through over a traffic stop, is clearly minimal to what i witnessed being inside... i will fight till the death before i let a crooked cop put cuffs on me again... prove me wrong...

For profit prisons that don't rehabilitate should spell out the issue without any extra words. They're incentivized to make the minimal impact on prisoners lives, minimal rehabilitation because in the end that means more income for them. Empty beds don't pay wages.
@@0xsergy For profit prisons house about 3% of total prison population and all surveys of prisoners show they are miles better than state run hell holes. "They're incentivized to make the minimal impact on prisoners lives" well 99% of private prisons are minimal security so most people are not there for that long BUT, since you charge extra for any additional programs they usually offer a lot of extra activities and rehabilitation. And yes empty beds can make you money depending on the service contract the prisons have with the state, for example you in most cases you would sign a fixed capacity contract where they have to have for example 100 available beds and it's up to the state to fill that capacity if they don't they still play and prisons make more money if they are empty.

We have to find a solution to this problem and give people the help they need. Making a mistake doesn't make you a bad person. Nobody is perfect in this world. We need to help our people here in the USA
Canada doesn't have private prisons any more they ended their contract with the only private run facility in Penetang back in 2006 mainly because they saw how bad the results were compared to a publicly funded one.
America, take notes
Don't count on a shithole like America to make any changes
damn, this is the vice content i love
Every prison is private when every law surrounding prisons is paid for by the highest private donor and built by the lowest private bidder
Something needs to happen to wake the public up to the point that we say enough is enough and take back our countries.
You're right, and I hate to say it, but I read a lot about the world's issues and also watch tons of global docs Nothing else needs to happen, because it's only going to get worse. All is being done with certain goals in mind, and TPTB, (big banks, the wealthy, the corrupt, our legal and tax systems, etc.), pretty much met their goals over the past century, and are just creating new ones. If we don't stand up now, and I mean everyone, it's game over. Of course, there'll be many, many deaths. Sadly, those are the options.
Reach out I have a plan
I hope
We so need to wake up from the things they are doing to us and now our future
For the ankle monitor issue, it would be great if Anonymous would track the ankle monitor callers and harass their daily lives.
Yes harass people in a call center that are likely employing ex cons. Big brain leftism here. I thought you were for "the workers."
@@MrPapageorgio I'm not a leftist because I'm not political. I believe people who harass others deserve worse.
you do that Kevin. be the Hero we deserve also send us nudes
@Liberals now know Biden was the worse choice are your takes always so condescending and insulting? It doesn’t make much sense to me to be so disrespectful to people you disagree with
@Liberals now know Biden was the worse choice damn you need to chill, the man is under constant surveillance? Who wouldn't be frustrated, and who are you to limit what someone has to say😂
I don’t think private prisons are the problem, it’s them getting. Away with horrible conditions, it needs to be looked over more, I think getting rid of them all together would be to much of a tax burden all of us would have to pay, but they shouldn’t be able to have people living in such horrible conditions
We have to take the record labels down first! I did house arrest for 2.5 years and the system is broken. It’s all about money.
What they're doing to that monitored protester is tantamount to torture the kinds of things CIA do to "enemy combatants" interrupting sleep load noises constant observation it's so disgraceful it's actually believable that it's done intentionally.there is no rational reason that that should happen but also that even cameras are needed.that afro bro was being intentionally fukt over,I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I was already disgusted with every frame I'd seen.syand up every1 now the only way to save us all is groundswell peaceful opposition and protest so the numbers will be proof of our majority and humanity
GQP believed that by privatizing as many industries as possible will set a market rate for everything if there were honest competition.
Well, GQP got paid to make sure there weren't honest competition and of course, the tax payer benefited.
Just look at military, education, prison, student loans, power grids, VA, postal service, social security, and Medicare.
At least GQP can claim they've made key people in those industries Millionaires and GQP donor/voter/supporters for life.
Every cop knows, accepts, and upholds this. There are no good ones, at best just confused ones.
They threaten their own
Only the God and spirits can help us
cops don't generally want to lock you away. many realize how fucked the system is and only resort to using it if they can't figure out other solutions. sometimes though there are no other solutions(if your mistake is that big, aka too big for an individual cop to help much).
@@0xsergy well yeah but for example take a bar fight, a lot of times these people should be sent to rehab and not prison but the courts and prosecutors dont have an option for that qnd there is not a parallel social worker mechanism so we do have a lot of trapped cops as well.
The real problem seems to stem from economics, lack of proper leadership, and disappropriate sentencing across the board. Legislative action will be needed to effectuate any type of change on the matter and a change in what we as Americans are exposed to in the media.
Private Prisons: We do this for money, not 'rehabilitation'"
Darn it's as if it never stops, they just move on to the next vulnerable population
That's the 👉 point
He’s (Biden) is one of the major architects of this mess. Let’s thank OUR politicians for doing what we don’t want them to do.. to all politicians, thank you and I wish you wealth in all your investments that hurt every American.
Exactly. I find this comical that Vice is trying to make Biden look like a good guy when it was Biden who wrote the 1994 crime bill that specifically targeted impovershied communities and was the sole cause of the massive disproportionate incarceration of minorities and once incarcerated they were able to use them as free labor which is modern slavery. Biden literally helped create this mess and you think he's going to end it? 🤦🏽♂️😂🤣
Being a convicted criminal OR an illegal immigrant do not remove your humanity. It blows my mind away at how cold and callous some people can be if it means more profits. Just disgusting.
Humanity disgusts me.
I’ve prosecuted several thousand misdemeanor cases in my life.
Jail is rarely an offer I make for misdemeanor offenders and I’ve only once asked for electronic monitoring of a defendant who was a high risk spousal abuser.
How tf. does Mowhawk have a monitor for battery that’s doesn’t involve allegations of beating his spouse?
Maybe you can help him or know someone who can? That would be an awesome act of kindness.
I don't believe you. All you prosecutors have no morals or empathy. You paint everyone as a "menace to society" whether they are jaywalking or up for murder. I hope karma exists upon death cause you'll certainly get yours for all the wrong you've done
@@Snowneutrino652 unless you’ve been prosecuted at least ten thousand times, I’m not sure you’re qualified to offer an opinion as to the reputation of the hundreds of thousands of prosecutors in the United States.
Helping the prison industrial complex grow huh?
@@lionelhutz8805 oh I don't need personal experience. Luckily documentaries are made on this subject and how much police, prosecutors and judges alike have wronged hundreds of thousands if not millions. You may be on high ground in that courtroom but anywhere else in the world your kind is despised. If heaven exists and people do see a God when they die for entrance you'll be on the outside looking in. You're on the same morally bankrupt level as a serial killer or pedophile
We really do live in a sick, sick world. 2 million black men, women and children in prison and working as cheap/slave labour for trillionaires. 😢
Decriminalize drugs and the number of those incarcerated goes down a ton.
I was in jail in Europe let me tell you they really do rehabilitation there i stayed in a house with indelendt living with all the food we want, skills we want to learn and helped us aftdt jail with job and place to live. American jails are terrible what they are doing no value for humans rather milking tax payers for petty crimes.
Mass Incarceration 2.0 Their Bottom Line
"There's only two ways to make money.
One is to increase your revenue and one is to decrease your expenses. And in the case of private prisons increasing revenue means more bodies behind bars and decreasing expenses means lower care and quality care for those people who are in your custody."
Private prisons should not exist anywhere
Freest country in the world. LOL.
You aren’t free to commit crimes, why are you more worried about the well being of criminals instead of the people they victimize? If anything they treat these animals too well lol…
It’s a third world country in a gucci belt.
You definitely have no clue what you're talking about.. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you have never visited any other country? If you were well traveled you'd know this IS the freest country in the world..
@Rs1 people that are wrongfully imprisoned, were in jail, before DNA tech was introduced.. it really don't happen any more.. Yes there's a 140 to 150 people a year that gets exonerated, but they are all old cases that were held before 1989. Since then 2400 cases were overturned or exonerated.. Very few if any were committed after they used DNA tech.. roughly 10 to 15 million people are arrested in the US per year.. I'll bet you mess your job up more than a 150 times a year, (if you're even employed) and that's only doing your job 5 days a week for a year.. calm down with your crying about people that probably committed the crime, but the police gathered the wrong blood or the blood samples were mislabeled. You are aware that part of the exonerations, is problems with paperwork.. or they were misrepresented.. You need to look into the details of why these cases are overturned instead of just looking at the numbers.. People like you are the reason there is so much misinformation..
@@you_beg_my_pardon ur ignorant
private law enforcement is fucked up, people WILL find ways to capitalize on anything that makes them money.
This is also an issue with residential treatment facilities for youth know as the Troubled Teen Industry. They're paid 100-500k per year by the state/insurance to kidnap kids and will make any excuse to hold them. Abuse is very common. Kids were being roofied and raped at the facility I was sent to. The stress and malnutrition almost killed me. I weighed less than 90lbs at 5'11. This was in 2012 and many of these facilities still exist.
Bro xtregh to you
Thank you for the knowledge great video 💯
4 decades from now: We must combine Military complex and private prison and make human/robot weapons with trackers and let their anger be productive in external wars.
@jorge adams - It will be a lot sooner than that. Look at Agenda 21 and it's first milestone 2030.
Doesn't sound farfetched to me at all
I cannot believe that they are allowed to put cameras inside your home while on tether, is this real???
Yes it is real. Basically it’s justified by having 24 hour monitoring. Yes, it’s really sad.
as a direct victim to this. I was at irwin at stuart at geo and core civics imigration detention centers. u wouldnt believe how they treat people in these places. i went through hell while living this worst part about it i have so much ptsd i just wish i could tell my story my whole story for all the people that couldnt because they dont speak english or because they were afraid of the consequences. i can tell you everything i encountered. i just need someone to ask..
What was the worst of it? What were some reasons immigrants fled their home land? How were the guards?
Illegal immigration is illegal so ending up in basically immigrant prison shouldn’t be a surprise. You did it knowing it was against the law. How about doing it the legal way? Yes, it takes time but at least you aren’t committing a crime. I think everyone coming in should have an American citizen sponsor proving a place to stay. Also, every person needs to submit a resume showing skills and experience, no matter what kind. We just want people who will be assets….teachers, seamstresses, construction, mechanics, restaurant managers, building, nurses, sale people, etc. we don’t want immigrants just taking free handouts. Also, why would anyone move here and not even attempt to learn any English. It’s fine speaking Spanish but our legal language isn’t Spanish, it’s English. My dads best friend came here legally from Mexico about 30 years ago as a kid. He owns the only auto repair shop in town and also one of two internet service providers. He hates all the illegal immigration because "we Americans pay for them. We have our own poor and homeless people to take care of without taking in mexicos poor and homeless people." We’d love to have families like Abel’s come to America
@@amazingsupergirl7125 listen i grew up in america and ive been hearing igonart people with the same take you have just share had to put up with it all my life actually it was very sad. but let me clarify u live in a priviledged bubble u have no idea how its like in other parts of the world but i promise you honey if these immigrants could legally come and for most even have the education or money resources to dream of leavin these 3rd world place. they would if tht was a possibility but when they dont even know how to read or write i doubt they are thinking of how they can not strarve at ur liking. but its okay its discussions like this that help people from the other side understand that it is all designed so that a few can reap the benefits of manies suffreing. so first we need tio adress the real problem rasism egoism narssiism the desire for all to have equality . please be wise on how u feel about others live because mostlikely u have never walked a meter in their shoes
@@amazingsupergirl7125 Abiding by the law is mandatory for anyone who enters into another soverign state but here the thing is complicated.First,big companies wants cheap labour can work on big farms or factories where you and other natives doesn't or could not work. Second,most of these people are coming here to work and change their lives.Some of them coming here by escaping extortion ,kidnaaping etc by gangs or drug cartels.See Elsavador or Hunduras situation.This is humanitarian issue in this case U.S goverment the duty to observe universal human rights .Offcourse there are bad apples coming to U.S but most of them are hard working.We will not have chicken or produce on the grocery store without these workers.I know they are abused by corporate farms or factories but they earn better income what they did in their home country.See,Ukraine the U.S govetement gave additional $800 as donation.Me and you know we have many homless or poor people should be helped asap here but the goverement's priority is political gain not the poor people.
@@amazingsupergirl7125 you realize that illegal immigrants contribute over $11 billion through paying taxes annually, for programs they can’t be a part of, but knowing that it looks better in trying to get citizenship. The government has no problem taking the money. Also, if you’ve got a son who is 14 and doesn’t want to join the local gang, he will be kidnapped and killed- you have an option to leave that night, what do you do? Wait a another 10 years for your paperwork to through? I’m not saying illegal is always the way to go, but as a desperate parent, if that is the option I have, I would take it.
The US turned away boatloads of Jewish kids who were able to get out of Europe in WWII. It’s looked at as a stain in our history. Yet kids being sent to the boarder who are escaping from drugs, violence, starvation, and war are detained and most times sent back. We haven’t learned. The system is broken. I don’t have all the answers, and won’t pretend to, but having compassion in life always helps.
You mean corporations acting as jails was a bad idea?
How suprising.
Michigan is riddled with them I was in one. Since I had no money I was stuck being fed 1200 calories a day at 6 4 220 pounds. I was locked in a cell 20 hours a day. The wacked thing is they wanted me to pay them for being locked up. This place is in Ottawa County
imagine walking your family into America for a better life and then being confined to a gladiator camp for an unspecific amount of time.......this world is fucked up
With so much cruelty being inflicted upon the every day person here in America, there has to be a breaking point?
The guy being filmed at his home is something that would never be allowed here in Europe... unfortunately putting migrants in prison is a different story
that clown sure must be regretting catching that battery charge now lmao
@@bigbelix battery is not a big deal!
I think he set the cameras up to show how they constantly call him but I also misunderstood at first and thought the cameras were part of the deal. I'm sure that's coming soon too though.

Ankle monitor incarnation is prison. But it is better than being inside. Still a horrible experience
In America every thing is business
Sending illegal immigrants to private prisons is krazy shady
This has been going on for years and will continue.
Dude with the ankle monitor must b driven crazy
These private prisons have a contract with the state to make sure they have a steady supply of inmates guaranteed.
It should be illegal for owners of private prisons to be friends with judges.💯
Sick and vile
the direction the united states has gone in recent decades is terrifying and no other country needs to be following our lead wtf. private prisons is insane.
Geez, Americans privatize everything. Why?
Because a parasite needs a host
This is exactly what is wrong with our country.
This is a torture method so sad
Toll fees ,private prisons,and expensive living like when will it end ?the US really needs to clean up its act
Pure evil
The clip of cop try to bust door in while the door opens outwards is comical 😆
This was a powerful piece, but I have question because I’m simply curious about the calculation. At one point they make the claim “80% of undocumented immigrants are in detention facilities”, I’m just curious if these immigrants are undocumented, how can you now about a percentage? I do know there are ways to calculate/speculate on the number of undocumented peoples but there must be a high degree of uncertainty, no?
@Jericho thank you for the clarification!
I was in a private prison in Texas 2011 for a year before being shipped back to a local facility where I would get released. My charge was possession of Marijuana over 2 oz. (It was just under 4 oz to be more exact). I got shipped out there because I got in a fight but what was u supposed to do let them stomp or poke me? Where I was the guards could literraly just beat on somebody for the smallest of reasons. Another thing I noticed is the people who didn't have family to keep in contact anymore would slowly get treated worst and worst. I believe it's because they feel the person is more alone and would be less likely to get sued or something like that I mean why else...
Here in Canada the whole system is broken to. Probably not to the extent of USA tho. But ya I was put on probation for putting a hole in a wall when I was drunk. In and out of jail 11 times. I had at least 8 different probation officers. 5 years later finally off probation. Probation officers CAN be a huge fucking part of the problem. Before I was about to get off probation, my probation officer tried everything she could to breach me again. But I was fucking done with their bullshit and started recording everything and even brought a witness to my meetings.
Finally uploaded the right video
Remember when Biden said he would get rid of private prisons?
No politician will ever get rid of any private prisons. If the politicians make money, it will never change
No one will if they are paid by the private prisons themselves. I've been telling people that both parties are the same coz both are lobbied
it's happening in the UK, it costs 5k to send an addict to rehab but a private prison charges 50k a year, guess who gets the most customers?
America needs to be investigated for human rights violations. Each time I learn about America it seems like no one cares about humans. It’s all about how much money can we milk.
Want change? It's not going to happen, just get used to being treated as sheep for giving up your freedoms.
