Governor Edward Rendell brought casinos and slot machines to
Pennsylvania and now wants to turn PA into a prison state. He wants to
add 8,000 more beds to PA plantations by the year 2013. Even with the
fact that three different police districts falsified reports to get
warrants, planted evidence, and paid informants to set up and testify
against people, some of whom had no criminal records. Rendell noted that
of the 31,000 people on parole in Pennsylvania in 2007, 95% did not
commit new crimes, yet he suspended parole.
The governor has eliminated 20 educational programs including the
Scranton State School for the Deaf, the Scotland School for Veteran’s
Children in Franklin County, and the Schools of Excellence. The Library
subsidy was cut by $1.75 million dollars. The governor cut $205 million
from the education budget. The Justice Department’s budget is currently
$23.9 billion dollars and that’s not including the salaries for 50,000
more police officers, the salaries for 2000 more border patrol agents,
and not including the $1.4 billion for deporting illegal aliens who are
convicted of crimes, and minus the $75 million dollars for job training
for ex-cons released from prison.
There are 63 positions that convicted felons can not have. Once an
individual serves their time, there shouldn’t be any chains upon them.
These uninsured Americans have to start over. Many have no savings
accounts, homes, or any other property to fall back on. Now labeled as
dangerous criminals who can’t find work, they end up in homeless
shelters or back in prison.
The prison business is booming in PA. Three new prisons are currently
under construction and a fourth prison will break ground in 2010. That
is on top of plans to add 860 beds to four operational institutions,
plus an additional 1,600 beds at 10 more prisons before 2010. The
Governor wants 8,000 more beds by 2013 because the prison industry has
proven to be so very lucrative in PA. In January 2009, the prison
population was at 49,215. It will surpass 50,000 before 2010 because the
Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole aren’t releasing prisoners
when they reach their minimums.
Why are fewer prisoners being released on parole? It’s a conspiracy!
Population control! Whose population does PA legislators want to
control? The Pennsylvania Legislature has burned through $5.8 million
dollars of tax payer money so far on legal fees and other expenses
stemming from an investigation into staff bonuses and the
misappropriation of public resources. House Democrats spent $2.6
million. Senate Republicans spent $1.4 million, and House Republicans
spent $1.8 million. We have a $1.75 trillion dollar federal deficit
because of all our wasteful spending.
The disparity in prison sentences between white people convicted of
crimes and Black people convicted of the same crimes would suggest that
Africans in America are under attack. In the past their birthright was
stolen via the slave trade. Today, this modern day slavery is accredited
to unjust laws. Just as slavery was once legal in this country, you can
buy stock in the prison industry on Wall Street. The price tag for all
this construction is $862 million dollars and the bidding for the jobs
this prison will create is effective immediately.
The quickest way to create jobs is to build a prison. The state prison
population increased by 10,783 in 2008. Two-thirds of them were
nonviolent offenders. At this rate the prison population will be at
60,000 within five years. Tougher sentencing laws are sending younger
people to prison with longer sentences. Take a look at who is running
the prisons and who are being put in the prisons and how long they’re
confined. The slave traders plan for their children to work alongside of
them and they also plan for prisoners to be confined with their
children. With the substantial amount of time prisoners are forced to
serve, the prisoners who will be released are those who were forced to
max out. Their ages range from 40 to 60 years old when they get out.
