Kurt Schmoke: A Man Ahead of His Time

[freshwest]

2. Very good man. But what of the private prison system and the people who vote for it? You know that..

Their employees and stockholders are unwilling to let this system go under they will use any justification to keep it going. This is no longer a matter of public policy but private interests pushing it. And they all vote for the candidates that support their industry.

Don't forget that these corporations are on the stock exchange as great investments, always growing. What can we do about that voting block, with their lobbyists?

A wonderful and humane approach, but look at what it's up against. Great post. Will share and hope it generates reason.
