How is moving people due to contractual disputes (and presumably locking them down as is the national standard when inmates are moved, and, as is the process in any bureaucracy, losing property, inmate account funds, phone privileges, mislaying their mail, effectively disappearing them from their loved ones, as well as everything else that goes along with frequent inmate moves) morally fathomable & constitutional (esp. considering private facilities don't have immunity protections that public facilities do). This is what we get when a generation ago courts upheld this absurd system and legislatures care more about demagoguing issues than addressing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
