Privatized Prisons (PPs) make money by locking people up, and the more people they lock up for more time, the more money they make. PPs were once outlawed at the beginning of the 20th Century. But, in the mid-1980s a problem began to emerge.

When the state wanted to build a new prison, it traditionally asked the voters to approve the cost through a bond issue. But this time, voters throughout the country began to say no. So the alternative was to start using PPs.

I have been on a new jewelry making spree and thought maybe I could try and explain how I go about the creative process with one of the new necklaces. The necklace is called Sleeping Fox.

In his editorial abomination Alan cited Col. Richard Kemp as an authoritative voice on how restrained the Israeli Army has been in it's treatment of Palestinians:

This little boy is 5 years old, his name is Omran Daqneesh. He was pulled from the rubble of a house after an airstrike. Three other children were rescued from the same house and brought to the hospital with him.
