No problem, I understood how angry it makes people. You know the situation, you've seen it playing out in the news etc. What it reminds me of is the mess in New Orleans, plus the South on law enforcement, plus the entire country on all the harder prisons. That got posted here in politics also. Also not new-- one of the other political bloggers here on DW, twistedchick, has been known to post links on how lower-level inmates routinely get "lost" into higher level prisons where their families and attorneys can't track them down during an endless shuffle between prisons. ACLU probably has more on that one. Also the AZ abuses are similar to the kind of racist stuff that was happening with the Los Angeles police some years back. They're such a huge force to themselves they might as well be a small country.
