Thanks for this, Fire. The only thing I've read about Angola prison is an article or radio piece about the inmates there (who are mostly black) do slave work on a golf course. As a younger person, I didn't give it much thought, but thinking back there are a lot of ridiculous racial undertones in a largely black prison population servicing a largely white clientele.

Oryx and Friends posted:Omg those are so appalling just considering them is painful. Yes, reaching out to the Muslim community means reaching out to terrorists exclusively. Imagine if Obama had instead wanted to reach out to Jews and then everyone made political cartoons about Nasa reaching out to greedy rich bankers.

Except Arpaio is sheriff of an area that contains Phoenix and most of its metropolitan area, so we're not exactly talking about rural white Arizonans here. Either way, I hear that the Justice Department is biding its time.

We've already got stadiums and arenas in the U.S. that are named for pyramid schemes (Amway Center in Orlando) and for-profit educational groups (University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ), so let's name one for for-profit prison operators, why the hell not.
