        I mean, I don't really see a problem here. Military prisons are run to much higher standards than modern SuperMax "correctional facilities."

        Sure, but there's a huge difference between Gitmo and Leavenworth. And SuperMaxes are far closer to Gitmo without any military involvement.

        We've got a mass incarceration problem and you want the military institutional minded to be in charge? Military authoritarianism? No

        Incarceration isn't the fault of people running federal prisons. It's the fault of the private prison lobby and the LEOs beholden to them.

        Go read what Chris wrote about Inch. Then go do some more research on him. The private prison complex needs dismantled not boosted.

        Turkey, for example, is run by their military. Civilian government has little power there.

        Yeah but that's Turkey. That's not the US. Just part of what they are trying to turn us into. Won't happen
