"immigration and detention services across North America"

Prison riot!

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

[livejournal.com profile] 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

[livejournal.com profile] sabotabby:
OMG! They're so little and cute. Also, Dalek tea cozy!

[livejournal.com profile] 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 [...]

[livejournal.com profile] sabotabby: I don't get the point of beer cozies. You don't want warm beer.

[livejournal.com profile] corvus: But you also don't want freezing cold hands. Just drink fast.

[livejournal.com profile] sabotabby: Beer never lasts long enough around me to acquire clothing.

[livejournal.com profile] corvus: Can we put that on your tombstone?

Ah, those fuzzy, genocidal, cutesy Daleks.

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...

Dude, that's just creepy.

[identity profile] jhfurnish.livejournal.com 2007-04-25 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

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

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?

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.

Yes, keeping certain drugs illegal make good capitalist sense!

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

What if the prisoners were still alive?

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...

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."

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

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.

I think that on your tombstone would rock.

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...

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.

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...

[identity profile] lopukhov.livejournal.com 2007-04-27 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
