In case you missed it, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice says it needs to build three more prisons at a cost of around a half billion dollars to solve prison overcrowding.
That's your money. And, in a few more years, they'll just come back for more.
And on a related criminal justice news, this blog points out that our efforts to outlaw homemade meth - by such brainchilds as requiring us to jump through hoops to get some Advil at Walmart- hasn't curtailed meth use at all. The result is now we import it from Mexico, where it is more pure (hence the term "ice"), and fund a bunch of crazed Mexican drug lords at the same time. Good times.

I order my "advil" from some dude named Escobar .
Geeez. I think contractors take advantage of the situation and overcharge for prison buildings due to the buildings being "state projects." Simple metal buildings would be sufficient for those who want to live a criminal life.
greta2424,
You must be blonde. How do you think you would keep criminals inside of a metal building. The first time someone escaped there would be such a public outcry that we would spend another 25 million dollars trying to make the building secure. I would be for putting them in tents if I thought you could keep them secure. I do belive that air conditioning and television should be out of the question. Also, most prisons have better law libraries than most law firms. Just teasing about the blonde thing Greta!
You know what I mean. Those buildings do not have to be some fancy smancy project.
in order to keep the prisons over crowding i propose we do away with death row and just use .22 bullets. Much cheaper and same end result.
Of course Barry's solution is that we just legalize everything. Yeah, that will work out great Barry. Then, you and Stephen Hale can smoke all of the dope together. Maybe drop a little acid here and there. What a great society it would be then! Keep those fresh, great democrat ideas comin'.
We import? Maybe you do but we don't. Isn't that against the law. Guess it helps to know a shchister laywer.
Thank Ronald Reagan, his "war on drugs" and mandatory sentencing for this. People are taking up prison space for being caught with marijuana(a victimless crime). Yet, sex offenders are getting probation......Go figure!
9:49 give me a break. Do more research.
