What struck me when I looked into this issue was that Thomson Correctional Center cost $128 million to build in 2001 but Obama is paying $165 million. Dick Durbin and that crook who is now governor of Illinois claim Thomson is appraised at $220 million. This is bullsh*t. How can you appraise a prison when the potential buyers are so limited?

Just in case someone has not figured it out, unemployment in Illinois is horrible; also, the 100,000 employees of this prison will all be govt union members, kicking back $$1/2 billion a year to Dem politicians [these figures might be a little bit exaggerated... ;-) ]

This has less to do with security, unfortunately, and much more to do with Democrap corruption.

It’s the Chicago way.
