PLEASE, NO PRISON IN PASO ROBLES

To the editor:

Nuke'em! Jail 'em! Fry 'em! Everyone's guilty till proven innocent. Fight a
"drug war!" Put Marines on the border! But please, don't put the prisoners
in my back yard!

Law enforcement and prison-for-profit is not the answer; it's dangerous! We
don't need a police state, but we surely are building one! Having a prison
in Paso is only the beginning. If you want a "jackboot" state, be prepared
to pay for it.
