“If an adult is struggling, that’s what therapy’s for, not my kids’ books."
Now I want to read that book. I couldn’t believe they held an “emergency meeting” about one parent complaining, yet kids show up with guns or cops get called on kids and there’s no emergency. I wonder what the difference is. /s
“Now he’s 40% skull and dick measuring, 40% a cancel culture grifter, and 20% “oh no the transes are ruining everything.” It’s slowly dawning him - slow because he has the sloping brow and shallow brainpain of an Irishman - that the anti-trans people hate him just as much, if not more, and they can’t wait to exterminate him as well.“
The felony is punishable by up to six years in prison. Felony convictions in Tennessee result in the revocation of an individual’s right to vote.
The bill also introduces a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a $50 fine — which could be waived — and community service, for camping along highways, including under bridges or overpasses, or within an underpass. Violations in those locations would not be limited to overnight hours under the bill. Authorities would need to first offer a warning for people in violation.
Would you look at that! The private prison system in Tenn isn’t quite working out…
Interesting tidbit on immigration facilities:
the highest profit margin for companies like CoreCivic is in immigration centers: about $160 a day for a person housed in immigration detention while some of the company’s state contracts house prisoners for a third of that amount, according to Wright.
CoreCivic’s 2017 contract with Hamilton County stipulates the county would pay the company $46.17 to house an inmate and $19.84 for every inmate after Silverdale was housing more than 890 prisoners. In the second year of the contract, the per diem rate increased to $50.42 and then by 2% every year after that.
“Basically, it’s those immigration contracts that keep the private prison industry afloat,” Wright said. “Like, if they lost those federal immigration contracts tomorrow, I don’t know that we would have a private prison industry of Geo and CoreCivic by the end of the month.”
But won’t you please think of the rich republican owners of CCA?
The company’s revenue in 2012 exceeded $1.7 billion.[5] By 2015, its contracts with federal correctional and detention authorities generated up to 51% of its revenues. It operated 22 federal facilities with the capacity for 25,851 prisoners.[6]By 2016, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) along with GEO Group were running “more than 170 prisons and detention centres”. CCA’s revenues in 2015 were $1.79bn.[7]
CCA has been the subject of much controversy over the years, mostly related to apparent attempts to save money, such as hiring inadequate staff, extensive lobbying, and lack of proper cooperation with legal entities to avoid repercussions.[8]CCA rebranded itself as CoreCivic amid the ongoing scrutiny of the private prison industry.[9]
The Loganville Police Department said that four teenagers had been charged in relation to attacks against a 15-year-old male classmate at Loganville High School in Georgia, CBS46 reported. Authorities alleged that the teens trapped the 9th grader into a bathroom closet for a lengthy amount of time and doused him with liquid cleaning products.
The teens are accused of subjecting the victim to harassment and homophobic comments while he was trapped in the closet, Monroe Local reported.
I’m not too far from this area. I’m unsurprised about this, as this whole area (east of ATL) is changing demographically and politically. I used to live in a reliably Republican area, and now it’s all reliably blue. There are still plenty of white people upset by the changes happening out this way. It sucks that it’s manifesting in violence like this.
