One tiny little facet of this story is kind of telling: Even after the story breaks, the CCA tries to remind the reporter that he signed a contract, that there are things he’s not supposed to disclose, because he signed that paper. As if any lawsuit they brought against the reporter would ever have a chance. I kind of get the impression that these are people used to being on the dominant end of any agreement, whether it’s with prisoners or employees. It’s a dangerous mindset to get into.
