When they going to get some help for these guards and etc.? Can’t pay enough for such a dangerous job. How about bringing some of the billions stashed away.


Blessings to anyone that works with these crazy people.

Spirit Filled,


You’re not getting it! There is a large faction within this forum that want all jails and prisons to be privatized, therefore, getting rid of those damn unions that cost too much! Yeah, who in the hell is going to do jobs like this at close to minimum wage so the corporations that own the privatized prisons can make money for their stock holders?
