CORPORATE PROFITS THE REIGNING FACTOR

The toughening of sentences for drug possession and use are designed
to provide the extra customers who will be required when the prison
system is run by corporate business as is being proposed by the
Conservatives. Non-violent offenders will be targeted as they are easy
to house and control. Corporate profits will be the reigning factor,
not social responsibility. The U.S. has followed this plan for the
last decade with disastrous results.
