        Business good if you own a prison, bad if you own a small business.

        Is it possible to own a small business prison? Like a ma and pop private prison?

        police spending as a proportion of city budgets, a thread. our cities are hostages to cops who arrest and brutalize our people while we can't find the money to feed, house, and treat those in our communities. please share and add your own.
