    Well, she did get an anti-lynching bill passed in the Senate so that is a miracle. Congress has never passed an anti-lynching bill. You can bet that the old buzzard Pelosi will kill it in the House.

    Gee... I could say the same of Trump (enforcing and not defending, of course), and yet Libs go bonkers when he does his job by the book, enforcing the law as it exists.

    Lynching is Illegal in America? :hiding:

    We need this law as much as we need the law to ban the confederate flag and to remove confederate statues.

    Atlanta and Richmond must also be renamed

    I concur; my wife reminds me of it every time she orders me to take trash out.

    Actually, lynching isn't a federal crime so it is sort of legal.

    Per Article 1 Section of the California State Constitution =
    "Section 6
    Text of Section 6:
    Slavery is prohibited. Involuntary servitude is prohibited except to punish crime."
    https://ballotpedia.org/Article_I,_California_Constitution

    So, prisoners can be used as slaves in America.

    I know it isn’t. I can just see Federal Marshalls standing around doing nothing, watching some poor fella being lynched to death.

    You’ undoubtedly heard, Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time. Prisoners are special sort of people.

    This is why Harris and so many on the left support illegal immigrant and refuse to work with ICE to have them deported. Slave labor. It’s quite disgusting

    Private prisons... The early investors were right wing religious people like Wendy's and Hobby Lobby. They can't have any empty beds. I read an incredible expose' about a young journalist who was locked up for 90 days to write the story..

    We’ve contracted prison systems out since the revolutionary war, long before Hobby Lobby and Wendy’s. Only about nine percent of inmates are housed in one today.

    When CCA shares appeared on the NASDAQ stock exchange in 1986, the company was operating two juvenile detention centers and two immigrant detention centers. Today, it runs more than 60 facilities, from state prisons and jails to federal immigration detention centers. All together, CCA houses at least 66,000 inmates at any given time. Its main competitor, the GEO Group, holds more than 70,000 inmates in the United States. Currently, private prisons oversee about 8 percent of the country’s total prison population.

    Whatever taxpayer money CCA receives has to cover the cost of housing, feeding, and rehabilitating inmates. While I work at Winn, CCA receives about $34 per inmate per day. In comparison, the average daily cost per inmate at the state’s publicly run prisons is about $52. Some states pay CCA as much as $80 per prisoner per day. In 2015, CCA reported $1.9 billion in revenue; it made more than $221 million in net income—more than $3,300
