Furious at the FCC, Arkansas jail cancels inmate phone calls rather than lower rates
Furious at the FCC, Arkansas jail cancels inmate phone calls rather than lower rates
Arkansa backwater jails ftw, yet again. If I was going to prison for a long time in Arkansas (or Louisiana), I would commit suicide for sure.
its not a justice system... its a revenge system
It’s neither about justice nor revenge. It’s about people as commodities (read: slaves) that states and private prisons can use for near-free labor. As long as the slaves can and will work, they don’t give a rats ass about the slaves. If the slaves start revolting or dying, and it affects the bottom line, then they will do something.
Can confirm. I made around 30 dollars a month (back in the early 2000s), and I gladly worked because it was an opportunity to GO OUTSIDE. Sometimes even outside the walls.
It's a cruelty system. I know many pro-death penalty people who are really angry that criminals are not getting their throat slit on site, then their slow death recorded for the enjoyment of pro-death penalty people crime deterrence purposes.
Arkansas has been a third world hell hole for as long as I can remember. And I’m 72 years old.
and they dont like being called "ar-kansas"
Even Republicans voted for lower costs and this guy is punishing inmates. SMH.
Who in their right mind started to allow running infrastructure, but especially prisons and hospitals, as for-profit businesses? 😵💫😵💫
Isn't it blatantly obvious that it can only ever be detrimental to society?
Yes. Politicians and lobbyists.
And we allowed it because "who cares, they're criminals".
