Судейская этика, как растолковали в прошлом году на местном радио, не мешает судьям и их родне держать акции компаний, наживающихся на околотюремном бизнесе: строительстве, содержании, охране и т.д.

The cost of "three strikes" legislation in California, according to a RAND Corporation study, would add nearly $6 billion to the cost of running California’s jails. Horrified that these billions would come at the cost of cuts to education, the arts, parks, environmental programs and social programs, the statewide teachers’ union led a campaign to defeat the resolution. They were outspent many times over (http://mediastudy.com/articles/incarceration.html), however, by a statewide prison guards’ union whose members were salivating at the thought of thousands of new jobs. The resolution passed in 1994 as did similar laws in state after state including New York.

The prison guards union is the most powerful union in CA. Welcome to the New World Order.
