Wow new York building a jail that is taller than the statue of liberty? Talk about heavy handed symbolism
Lmao these are the people shedding crocodile tears over the gulags and here they are casually fantasizing about a gulag the Soviet Union could never come up with
In the Soviet Union the Great Purge lasted less than a year, but we've been doing the equivalent for like forty.
Comparing it to the statue of liberty is peak something.
Someone fly a fucking plane into it before it gets populated please.
When I said "I would KILL for a cheap place to live downtown," I didn't mean it literally
In burgerland they charge you for staying in prison so it's not even cheap
They hate us because of our freedom.
Biden's legacy is just going to be the 1994 crime bill, mega prisons and sundowning isn't it?
That's unfair, there's also genocide and war
And making it impossible to discharge student loans in bankruptcy.
hey now, he's also trying for a nuclear holocaust
When Felix said he was going to be America's "sin eater" I don't think he anticipated the amount of sins Biden would be doing on his own on the way out (of life and office)
Why his junk shaped like that tho
Infra-materialism, comrade. His balls are filled to the brim with our collective plasm.
Kinda looks like he's smashing himself in the dick. Heheheh.

CBT devices have multiple uses, sometimes they are just regular construction tools.
My first thought!
Historically accurate swole Lenin
Hope it gets 9/11'd the day before it's open to prisoners
Literally my first thought "gawrsh I'd like to see it shelled"
Also this is a much smaller building than the towers. Like, it looks like it's about maybe twice the size of that section of the Pentagon that got obliterated. A nice, fully fueled wide body jetliner at mach 0.9 would leave nothing standing.
Americans talk about repressive governments in one breath then brag about the architecture of a skyscraper sized prisons in the next
That’s whataboutism
Iirc, the location is a massive fuck you to china town.

They're building a 100 meter jail because they claim to want to close rikers island, but will do nothing to improve peoples conditions in or outside of jail
100% sure Rikers will be reopened for an adjacent purpose after they "close it down" after opening this monstrosity
I wish America would build an Arcology!
monkey's paw curls
didn't they make a movie about this?
and in wicked North Korea they jail so many people they need to build skyscraper prisons to house them all.spoiler
Also Judge Dredd too since I'm pretty sure this exact thing happens in the mega city.
Judge Dredd has "isocubes", though what that actually is varies by artist. I distinctly remember one panel (from the funniest comic: the one where he arrests himself and all his friends for a petty noise violation on Christmas, sentencing them and himself to a weekend in the isocubes) showing a stack of them and they're like, clear glass boxes with a chair in them.
dystopianIs all the world jails and churches?
Nope, just the US
Sheep tremble and here come the
sI found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Such a historic building needs a good name, something that really reflects this advancement in the infrastructure to rehabilitate people who've taken a dark turn in life, giving them a second chance with new opportunities and above all else a new hope.
But what's another word for hope? "Prospect"? And "nova" is Latin for "new".

Not a moment too soon doc, he was about to board the train to America
Trains? In America? That infrastructure is so neglected, it's like they're always departing but they never arrive...

Not exactly related, but the design reminded me of this story https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-11-08-me-845-story.html
lol hopefully they found the cheapest contractor and the walls will be paper thin
