Walking Out of Prison...

P-Mac notes an irony.

...the unions and lawmakers said they really opposed a private prison for safety reasons. "The bottom line is that privatization of correctional institutions threatens public safety," said guard union boss Gary Lonzo in 1997. "I am troubled by questions regarding the quality of security and staffing at private facilities," said U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, the La Crosse Democrat, three years later as he tried barring the federal use of private prison contractors. "The thought of private prisons in this state is so antithetical to what you need for a good corrections policy," said
then-Attorney General Jim Doyle.

Yup. Stanley. And McIlheran has plenty more of the Lefty bullroar at his post.

No, Patrick is the king of self-dealing flapdoodle and got his hat handed to him. But then again, why even bother with evidence to the contrary, it's not going to change your mind.

Clearly, only public-employee unions and State administration of prisons can keep us safe.
