Poem

the megajails are coming &

with them, the richest country in the world which

without any irony whatsoever,

continues to lock up the largest percentage of its own citizens in the world &

then throws away the key,

hoping to never hear from the incarcerated again---

as the population of prisoners in this country swells,

revenue increases,

brought in by the building of prisons &

the stockpiling of

inmates---

and at present, most stand with hands supposedly tied,

watching the wicked weave their web.

 

in 2007 alone,

“the bureau of prisons budgeted $5 billion dollars for

182,000 federal inmates”---

that is well below the proposed $30+ billion that is spent a year

on prisons in the US,

and so there is a “prison market,”

one in which

private companies to sink their teeth into

everything from the need for cells ($14,000-$18,000 a piece)

to modernized & specialized security devices ($1.5 billion dollar market) &

if you are really interested, you have the moola, and you’re an aspiring

entrepreneur,

you can attend the annual

American Correctional Association convention

(the next one is in january, the 20th-25th in phoenix, arizona)

where every new gadget to make imprisoning people in this country

easier & more profitable for those interested

can be viewed, tried out, etc.---

it is like an electronics convention for

oppressors.
