What is the Prison Industrial Complex?

The prison industrial complex (PIC) is a complicated system situated at the intersection of governmental and private interests that uses prisons as a solution to social, political, and economic problems. The PIC depends upon the oppressive systems of racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia. It includes human rights violations, the death penalty, industry and labor issues, policing, courts, media, community powerlessness, the imprisonment of political prisoners, and the elimination of dissent.>

I only excerpted the header from this site. I wanted people to go into the site and look through it. More of the new left and the anarchist movement.

Shoot, with all the talent they got behind bars, this here Prison Industrial Complex is ideally suited to take on Microsoft! You go guys!

Critical Resistance works to build an international movement to end the Prison Industrial Complex by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe.

Well, it doesn't make us as safe as executing the perps, but they seem to have a problem with that approach as well. You just can't please some people.

Go into that site?

I'd rather drink a bucket of monkey snot.

Thanks, anyways.

This has to be about prisons in Cuba.

Or Communist China ...

Notice how the left attaches industrial complex to things they want us to think of as evil.

[satchmodog9]

Seems aimed at our prisons mainly. You know, the ones with cable tv and libraries. Not the ones in Turkey or Mexico or Saddams for that matter.

I guess it never occurred to these people that if people didn't commit crimes they wouldn't be in prison.

Oh that's right, people only commit crimes because of "the oppression of the MAN". /end sarcasm.

[satchmodog9]

Also goes into the anarchist freewill crapola.

[Ticonderoga34]

Another idea that hasn't popped into these lefties heads is that most victims of criminals are the poor and the weak. The people who supposedly the left cares about.
