Recently I learned that NM congressional influence was helpful in getting a new contract for Corrections Corporation of America to imprison undocumented immigrants in the Cibola County Correctional Center that CCA owns. Apparently the news of the closing of that for profit incarceration company human warehouse in that depressed city was to much for some folks. Sure, it is a large employer in the area, but at what cost to human morality? The facility housed women for many years, but was deemed unneeded.
I cant think of anything more repugnant than private prisons. And yet we have locally elected democrats representing us in DC that see this as a vote getting mechanism. Not to mention the amount of possible donations they may get from CCA. And now we learn that CCA doesn't want pot legalized because they will lose business.

From getting rid of buggy whips to legalization marijuana! Quite the leap in the last two posts. To the future of legalized sleepy eyed stoned grifos in New Mexico. You know I remember the activist, Corky Gonzales, in Denver in the mid 1960's exclaiming that as soon as grifa made the "middle class" it would be legalized. Never took Corky to be a person who could see the future........
Which politicians?
