Hello ARMCHAIR, As far as I know corporate-run prisons have become the newest trend in keeping criminals locked up. Firms such as Pricor and Corrections Corporation of America run a prison or jail for profit. The more the public fears crime, and the more the politicans cry for "get tough" legislation, the more profits thay can realize. So, how realistic is to assume that these corporations contribute large amounts of money to lobby for tougher laws, and longer sentences? -- Best regards, Wlodzimierz Gogloza - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scapegoat//Mad as Hell - http://sierp.tc.pl/wlodek Laissez Faire! w sieci - http://www.kki.net.pl/~lafa To those students who sat silent and overawed, Mises would say, with the characteristic humorous twinkle in his eye: �Don�t be afraid to speak up.
