Growth Industry

And I just read this from the Los Angeles Times… “Governor calls for prison growth - Trying to avert a possible court takeover of the state prison system, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday proposed a multibillion-dollar expansion of correctional facilities and opened the door to sentence reductions for some crimes.”

Expansion? That means more prisons and a larger Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Rehabilitation? That means nothing. Zip. Nada. No money is allotted for it. The only money ever spent on it was to change the stationary and the business cards; adding the words, “…and Rehabilitation” to the old name.
