And then there's the New Castle prison uprising -or- the problems with prison privitization

Had enough time today to read the papers and discovered that there was a prison riot here in Indiana that, according to the reports, seemed to stem from conflicts caused by good ole Mitch Daniel's prisoner-importation program. Now they've distributed the "problem" prisoners all over the state. Brilliant. Way to be proactive. This would be a good time to look at systemic issues rather than shipping prisoners from Arizona all over the state of Indiana. Huh?

Here's some links:
