[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Sad but not surprising.  The GEO Group, one of the two largest private prison companies in the country... contributed $673,200 through the end of September, putting its weight behind Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

It's all pay-for-play.  Follow the money.

Meh. I have better things to worry about than who owns the local prison.

Yep. If prisoners suffer a bit more than they otherwise would because they're in a private prison, so be it. They probably deserve it.

This is an appalling attitude to have. Most people in prison have serious mental health issues; come  from a background of poverty, hopelessness, and discrimination; and all social scientific evidence has shown that our method of punishment over rehabilitation just creates repeat offenders. Not to mention private prisons means those prison owners have an incentive to support or bribe local and state officials to create new, absurd laws to grow their prison populations.
