Philadelphia Schools Closing While A New $400 Million Prison Is Under Construction

This is why Mike is leaps and bounds above any R&B singer today.

man the world is nuts. why does every level of government seem to be broke? did my parents generation screw up every business which is why everything is falling apart for us now? ?

It's the wages of greed. For decades the truth was always blurred. Now opportunity is turning into sheer exploitation. Where they done took so much in the dark if u want any more u gotta thief it broad day. And they got the gall to say eff it we doing it...

Now society is at a point where it's collapsing under the massive weight of those on the top. The massive belly of America is what made it great, now the same will condemn it.

What else can you say that hasn't been said already?

It's just finishing touches now

 

[BedRoomI'z]

Cheap labor will always trump schools in these end times, folks

 

[Pool_Shark]

this is just scary.

 

[Big Boss]

@Mr. Somebody

The government in Philadelphia has given up on the youth and has instead opted to educate them in how to be a Slave. Its so sickening, its so satanic. Then again, when you consider the fact that schools are often designed by the same people that build prisons and can actually double as concentration camps, its obvious that there are people in high places who have money invested in both sides of the coin. They construct but their construction has no moral compass. Prisons or schools it makes no difference. Its just sad to see the legislature in Philadelphia take a demonic stance toward the people in their city because once schools get closed its obvious that crime is around the corner, which gives these children, to the devil, Prison!

Its so demonic, friends.

How do prisons make more money for the govt?

I thought private prisons where the one caking off more inmates with longer sentences......unless government officials own part of the prisons?



Edit: or do they just tax us more for the cost of the prison/prisoner, and pocket as much of the tax as they can?

-DMP-

Isnt it obvious, taxes. The city is funding this prison. They will reap rewards from the proceeds of Slave labor.

Our country spends money on the wrong things, if even 1/4th of our military budget went to healthcare and education we'd be damn near a utopia.


Case in point, 1 F-22 Raptor costs $420 million, our country ordered 188 of them and they aren't even in active combat service because of a design flaw that causes pilots to blackout

man that's a rant I dont even wanna touch right now. I DESPISE the amount spent on defense. especially defense that is not defending our borders. but that's just politicians letting their buddies who run these defense companies til the cows come home at the expense of young/poor people's lives and bankrupting the country. fukking total waste. and what do we have to show for it? just a bunch of fear mongering by the media, dead soldiers who died in vain, and $4+ gas prices

I read somewhere that the amount of money spent on the current war could basically give everyone in the united states like 100k a piece

Those prisons will be filled with the kids that can't go to the schools..the offenders will get hard time for non violent crimes...this will damage families more and continue the cycle and create future ways for them too profit

Also it'll cut the black population down

 

[Commander in Chiefin]

the white man must be purged from this planet.

This is hardly all the white mans fault. Philly has had a black mayor for the last 14 yrs, the current and former school superintendants are also black.

 

[Captain Crunch]

The school closed, the prisons open.

Meanwhile the DEA
Teamed up with the CCA
They trying to lock nikkas up
They trying to make new slaves

The CCA owns 60 prisons nationwide and is the largest private prison company in America. They are contracted by the government and states to manage and operate prisons. Currently, the CCA holds 75,000 prisoners. Black men currently make up 40 percent of the prison population. The CCA pays inmate workers as little as 25 cents per hour. Prisoners who refuse to work are regularly held in isolation. Companies that use prison labor include IBM, Dell, AT&T, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, Revlon, Nortel, Victoria Secret and Boeing.

Yes, I know the prison in Philly won't be privately owned, but this just shows you how lucrative prison is and why despite what they say, they love seeing black men in there. Why educate them when you can imprison them. Very sound logic!

 

[Uncle Kingpin]

The government determines how much future prison space is needed by looking at elementary school failure rates. With this twisted logic i guess they figure if they are closing schools they better get a jump on having facilities for these student-future criminals. It is nothing but slavery. A free man is worth nothing to the state unless he's paying taxes. An incarcerated man is worth $30,000 a year to the state based on what they can bill. Its disgusting and reprehensible that our government claims they cant provide healthcare for all citizens, but prisoners get full healthcare. SMH

at this point the only thing you can do is put stock in the privatized prison industry.
