Heck, that's the best accommodations for miles around. They should
have based the design on Papillon, replete with guillotine.

1970s No “hot racks,” and the head had individual stalls, individual showers.

Did anyone consider the possibility that they might like it there?

It's so sad that they don't make movies for grownups anymore. I don't want to see monsters and spacemen.

Nicer than most of the barracks I slept in while in the Marine Corps...

ICE needs to be at all the registers at Walmart.

I see them there, unafraid, smug and still using SNAP cards.

I fly from Stuart Florida to Everglades city for lunch and back.
The flight is over the Everglades most of the way.
No obstructions, buildings or radio towers so you can fly as low as you care to.
So many gators along the way, too many to describe.
You just hope your mechanic did a good job.
Alligator Alcatraz?
Way cool.
Escape!
Run!Swim.
Run some more.
Oh yeah don’t forget the millions of feral hungry hogs too.

I’ve just completed a novel set on a Navy flat-top in WW2. Those guys had it a lot worse, plus facing the daily threat of death.

Didn’t Joe have the inmates perform labor as well? These illegals should need to work for food and board.

If they make it more appealing than their home country or being on the streets, hustling for work they’ll want to live in AA. A/C, networking and free food, no effort required.

So it’s just a comfy revolving door from wherever they invaded from.

“Escape!

And just for extra protection, don’t forget to take your lucky ham.
