"immigration and detention services across North America"

[sabotabby]

Prison riot!

sabotabby Talking Point #1: What do we know about the GEO Group Inc.? They seem exceptionally creepy.



sabotabby Talking Point #2: What is the point of imprisoning 1,630 people who have "no predisposition to violence"?

Also, I generally frown on re-posting IM conversations, but this involves Daleks, so

corvus:


sabotabby:
OMG! They're so little and cute. Also, Dalek tea cozy!

corvus: Isn't that the cutest thing in the world?! You mean Dalek beer cozy? I have a beer cozy from my mate's old band, GLOBAL CHAOS [...]

sabotabby: I don't get the point of beer cozies. You don't want warm beer.

corvus: But you also don't want freezing cold hands. Just drink fast.

sabotabby: Beer never lasts long enough around me to acquire clothing.

corvus: Can we put that on your tombstone?

Ah, those fuzzy, genocidal, cutesy Daleks.

"EX-TERERERERERERM-INATE!
"EX-TERERERERERERM-INATE!
"EX-TERERERERERERM-INATE!"

[sabotabby]

They EXTERMINATE! and keep your tea warm!

[jhfurnish.livejournal.com]

They also occasionally make porn movies...

...but I'm sure you know about that.

That guy got in trouble with the studio for that. Did anyone ever manage to buy copies of that? I know you're into tentacle porn...

[corvus.livejournal.com]

Dude, that's just creepy.

[jhfurnish.livejournal.com]

I mention it because Sabotabby has made numerous jokes about 'there's always room for tentacle porn', so I couldn't resist. :) Plus, look at the avatar.

[lopukhov.livejournal.com]

Is Dalek pr0n some kind of snuff movie or something? I can't imagine Daleks endorsing interspecies intimacy...

[jhfurnish.livejournal.com]

Someone in Britain actually made a porn using porn actresses and authentic Dalek bots, but the studio that owns the rights to Doctor Who came down on it via lawsuit and it's hard to get now.

well, GEO Group is about to get a lot more attentio than they want. I hope.

Gonna make sure to listen to Democracy Now! tomorrow and hopethey come through for me.

shipping prisoners out of state is so, so so fucked up. Yeah theymight be "resentful." wouldn't you be if you were sent hundreds, thousands of miles away form your family?

[sabotabby]

I would be grateful to my corporate overlords.

Haha, just kidding. I'd riot too.

[wlach.livejournal.com]

In response to their website: no, I didn't know that the GEO group offered "home detention services". Hopefully our illustrious minister of public safety will get us some of that with his upcoming prison reforms.

[sabotabby]

I can't wait 'til we're all in ankle monitors with surveillance cameras in the loo.

On an entirely different note, did you get my message?

[spacemind67.livejournal.com]

Yes, keeping certain drugs illegal make good capitalist sense!
Another partner in crime:

Apparently the Chinese are harvesting organs of prisoners.
Lots of money there too.

[sabotabby]

Apparently the Chinese are harvesting organs of prisoners.

In China, though, presumably? I'm not terribly horrified by that. I mean, I'm horrified by capital punishment, but once you've already killed a person, you might as well use every part, y'know?

At any rate, too many people would be broke if drugs were decriminalized. It's a wonderfully brilliant racket they've got going.

[spacemind67.livejournal.com]

What if the prisoners were still alive?

A Canadian investigation team:

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

I don't know about Epoch Times, man. They're so rabidly anti-Chinese Government that I doubt their news. They went on ranting about their 7 or 9 theses against the Chinese government and how popular they were becoming inside China for a while...

[sabotabby]

Yeah, they are pretty nutty. I wouldn't trust anything they print.

[spacemind67.livejournal.com]

Another source...The state department.

"The Department of State is also aware of reports that it cannot independently confirm, of other, even more egregious practices, such as removing organs from still-living prisoners, and scheduling executions to accommodate the need for particular organs. In addition, there are compelling first-hand reports that doctors, in violation of medical ethics codes, have performed medical procedures to prepare condemned prisoners for execution and organ removal."

[spacemind67.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I will take that into consideration. I have been reading a lot of stuff about the Chinese, but mostly offline.

[seanmonster.livejournal.com]

My mom gave Q and I some beer cozies that look like little kilts. I've yet to use them for they're actually for, but I still have fun with them.

[sabotabby]

*cracks the fuck up*

[ironed_orchid]

Win!

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

I think that on your tombstone would rock.

[sabotabby]

I don't plan to be buried, but perhaps someone will erect a monument somewhere.

If so, I prefer the sculpture to be sans glasses, regardless of how cool everyone but me thinks they look.

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

Ah come on man, don't spend tons of fuel to turn your body into particulate matter in the atmosphere. Just ask people to dispose of you in the green bin...

[corvus.livejournal.com]

and then we can turn you into daisies!

[peterbilt-47.livejournal.com]

Man, you get a bunch of guys from GEO together with a bunch of guys from Blackwater to go out tittybar hopping, and I bet you them's some good times.

[sabotabby]

I'd like to be a fly on that wall. Well, no, because I'd probably get shot.

[5-miles.livejournal.com]

did you see this, it's from Post Secret.

[sabotabby]

No, but wow.

[corvus.livejournal.com]

done!

[sabotabby]

Yay e-fame!

[headchef.livejournal.com]

I'm going to sound so dumb but is there a pattern out there for these? I knit and would love to make them for a friend of mine...

[sabotabby]

I have no idea, but if you find one, let me know. I don't have that level of knitting talent yet, but they are awesome.

[talibah-nazahah.livejournal.com]

hey.. this is Gabski under my incognito-lj-name... feel free to add me... it's a screename for Islam stuff... anyways... your icon... i recently told my mom that i "converted" to Islam (in quotes because conversion is a weird concept for me... anyways)... she has been watching OZ and asked me if i was now like Kareen Said!!! hahahahah!!! i had to explain Nation of Islam to her as well as Islam not being a religion of angry arabs :) sigh. long island.

[sabotabby]

Haha, I bet she took that well!

[talibah-nazahah.livejournal.com]

oh yea... i thought she would handle it better.. otherwise i wouldnt have said anything... she was pretty freaked out. whoops. she;s better now. on the phone before she said, "thank God" about something and i said, "ilhamdu'llah" hahaha... she laughed.

[lopukhov.livejournal.com]

OMG. Just the other day, I thought about knitting a TARDIS.

Also, I started watching Oz, but I started at season 4, since that's the earliest the library has, so there's a lot of prison riots and guns and stuff.

[sabotabby]

Oh, there's prison riots and guns and stuff in the first three seasons, too. But the best prison riot is at the end of season 1.
