Now THAT is good, decent, down home, wholesome capitalism at work. Makes ya' proud. A tear comes to my eye.

It follows that we should make sure to have more prisoners on hand for emergencies and otherwise.

Prison = Profit all the way around. We are lucky to have more of them than China, huh?

I am deeply touched that our fine, (and now more sanitary) prisoners are working hard for a dime or a buck an hour for our benefit and we should all consider getting arrested, tried and convicted in order to benefit society like that. Do your part!
