@frauenfelder

Life at the federal facility is centred around work and extracurricular programmes

That sounds like life outside a federal facility, but where one must arrange their own shelter & three squares.

@frauenfelder

earn between 12 cents and $1.15 (£0.90) an hour for their jobs. Many are involved in food service and factory work.

@frauenfelder

Inmates who don’t get up at the appointed 6 AM rollcall will be slapped with a fine

Yay for forced labor!..

[werdnagreb]

I initially read that as a “life sentence” in federal prison, which seems a bit harsh to me.

[awesomerobot]

All inmates are expected to work, and earn between 12 cents and $1.15 (£0.90) an hour for their jobs. Many are involved in food service and factory work.

AKA slavery

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Thanks, Lincoln!

Hoo boy, more news for Bryan, TX.

[Mindysan33]

Isn’t that more like “thanks Congress” as they were the ones who wrote the reconstruction amendments?

[CharlesElmo]

What I find odd is Rupert Murdoch invested over 120 million as a startup. Others who invested were Henry Kissinger, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, Betsy Davos and several drug stores, Safeway, Walgreens, ect ect. How can that be possible to shell out that amount without hiring experts in the field?

[euansmith]

Welcome aboard, comrade

[SirValence]

Just living in Bryan, Texas is punishment enough.

[Rossitude]

You mean I can pay to sleep late? Here’s my credit card. Now keep it down until about 10 AM.

[gracchus]

She’ll either be spectacularly successful at charming the other convicts (like Madoff) or they’ll all loathe her and make her life miserable. There’s no in-between once a sociopathic grifter ends up in stir. My bet (and hope) is that it will be the latter.

[kmoser]

Said another way: suffer from narcolepsy? Tough luck, pay Uncle Sam.

[RickMycroft]

Just rollcall? What about inspection? Better have that bunk tucked and tight enough to bounce a quarter.

@RickMycroft

Better have that bunk tucked and tight enough to bounce a quarter.

As a side note to any young(er than me) naïf reading this, it’s highly likely that there really were no barracks, nor bunks, nor bedsheets in ROTC.
