See, invisible....and even when visible...roundly devalued. Forget them, then, if you like. Have you taken the time to see what this for profit prison complex has done to the communities in which it resides? What the effect is, on the un-incarcerated?
To add to what abaris mentioned...some of the people who "don't belong there" -are- there because the very same institution managed to criminalize whatever it is that landed them there in the first place. They wouldn;t build the prison (which the area did, objectively, need) unless mandatory minimums were imposed on x..rather than a slap on the wrist. You have to remember that these people look at crime and behavioral trends in an area as a potenmtial source of profit...and will hold us by the balls in negotiation to seek that out. They're not going to build the box unless they have assurances that it can be (over)filled, that the rate of conviction and length of incarceration is sufficient to meet their projected returns.
