Thanks
“Angola - A Gated Community” said the t-shirt this weekend.
This being Louisiana, I guarantee you Democrat (or RINO) politicians have an interest in private prisons and make a lot of money from prisoners, so they let them rot.
That $2.6 million probably made them a $1 billion.
They’ll keep doing it.
“Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections that have resulted in the routine confinement of people far beyond the dates when they are legally entitled to be released...”
By any other means, that would be kidnapping.
First, the cost of the excess incarceration has no place in a legal document. They are simply trying to gin up support for their conclusion.
Second, isn’t it standard practice to extend sentences due to infractions of prison rules? Clearly, they can delay early release for misbehavior. Some mechanism needs to be in place so that the prison officials can hold something over the inmates heads to induce good behavior during the final days. Otherwise, some inmates would beat up people they don’t like just before they leave.
Making up for all the scum they let out early.
Seems to me that holding someone without a legal justification is kidnapping and likely even slavery given that Louisiana uses prison labor for the nation’s largest prison farm.
Why isn’t the DOJ arresting and prosecuting the responsible people in Louisiana for these gross violations of civil rights?
No kidding, do they do this with early release? I mean if there is a set sentence of 20 years, how can a Governor decide to let them out. If an elected official can do one, why not another.
At least they HAD a release date, unlike our Jan 6 political prisoners.
