Why?
"And a large percentage of them are illegal aliens."
Got a number on that?
In the picture in post #21 ... one can see the parking lot (lower left) ... a flag pole ... then a small tower. That tower, in the early 70's at least, was where law enforcement checked their weapons prior to entering the prison. They had a drawer that slid out, you inserted the firearms, and you continued to the prison entrance.
Thanks again. That was swell swell? ... er ... uh ... I mean kewel. ;)
Great, Hank. I worked at a big mutual fund company that hired a new director of marketing and communications, probably a $300K job. She spelled the plural of prospectus (prospectuses) as prospectus' -- and for the sake of clarity, I will avoid ending the sentence properly punctuated right there ("prospectus.'") because of the folks who simply wouldn't understand it.
When an alien criminal gets caught for rape, murder or drug distribution, you pay $1.6 billion annually in prison costs to house, feed and clothe those filling 30 percent of our federal and state prisons—not to mention TV, movies, weight rooms and other entertainment—they enjoy while being incarcerated.
"Sorry - it's more like 30%."
You mean we could cut our prison population (and, I guess, our serious crime rate) by 30% just by getting a grip on the illegal alien problem?
AAAAAAAaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh...
WOW!! This turned out GREAT!! Thanks for re-doing it for us! *HUGS!*
In the 70s, trustees from the USDB operated a greenhouse, an auto body repair/painting shop and loaded groceries at the commissary. At the commissary, you got a claim check when you checked out then drove around back where the trustees put your groceries in the trunk. The auto body/paint shop operated on a lottery basis and, as I recall, the customer paid only for materials.
Thank you for sharing your photo essay. Acknowledging the prohibitive cost to tax payers :-( to renovate those old buildings, it sure is a shame to lose that dignified old architecture, isn't it?
I think zoologists use the term American bison for the buffalo. What is the story behind their being enclosed on prison grounds?
Very interesting about the German POWs. Thanks for researching that.
The first pair of low quarters I was issued in basic training were labeled as being made at the US Disciplinary Barracks, Leavenworth.
Thanks again, FMC. I did see them before, but enjoyed them again. I remembered the story of the Germans, but was not aware of the headstones. Good job.
Thanks for reposting. I enjoyed them the first time, but it was a lot more work to see them, then.
Great post. Thanks!
They were troublemakers.
Thanks for visiting a place I never "visited" (or wanted to). I bet that place was haunted with a few lost souls.
He indeed got a kick out of that comment.
They have had the buffalo at the prison camp for at least 40 years.I think 1 male and 2 females that calve and they send the calves to the herd around fort riley when they are old enough.
Blacks and Hispanic make up a large %age of convicts in US prisons.
Misleading is the fact that 33% of convicts in US prison ae illegal aliens - guesstimated betwen 10-22 million of America's 290 million population.
Blacks at 12% and Hispanics at 13% in the US population do not subtract the number of Black and Hispanic illegal aliens.
Therefore it is only logical that %ages of American citizen Blacks and Hispanics in US prisons and in the total US population are much less than we are being told.
Many of the violent felons in America who are labeled "Black" or "Hispanic" are illegal aliens and don't even belong in America.
American Blacks and Hispanics have a higher crime rate than American Caucasians, but the media and pro-OBLoser Lobby delight in inflating the numbers of American minorities in prison to further their "victimization" scenarios.
Thank you for adding me to your ping list. This is most interesting to see. Are there any pix taken from a plane or chopper that show the entire installation?
Perhaps the sun room is also another smoking room/break room. Being inside those stone buildings must be oppressive for the staff too.
