Private Prisons lobbying for influence:
This is only made more scary by the fact that the governor introduced a bill to strip prisoners of voting rights even after they had been released, meaning that their goal is clearly to make a sort of political prison plan. I don't know if that law passed or not, though.
I mean fuck, it's like my own nightmarish story is coming true before my very eyes.
EDIT:
Fuck it, I'mma make some predictions:
Pretty soon, we're going to see the reintroductions of anti-sodomy laws (once donators are certain that they can get away with arresting people for being gay again), debtor's prisons, even more harshers laws from the patriot act and the war on drugs and illegal immigration will continue, if not get stronger. I'll bet my account we'll even see another draft in our lifetime if this keeps going: one part of the population will go to military contractors, the other to prison for dodging said draft.
Even if they don't succeed, we're heading to a point where those laws are at least going to be fought for.
And on top of that, our private data that is being sold to corporations is only going to look more like enticing ammunition against the populace as things get worse.
If someone tries to write this off as some NWO bullshit, I have two words: Piss off!
