But I'm sure you aren't interested in that.

Rep Power: 65 | | | Let's compare our prisons to the prisons in the Sudan.
If they stand head and shoulders above us in the civil liberties and kindnesses they show their prisoners, then I'll consider their opinion on what consistitues a good prison.
If they are rife with human rights violations and fanatics, then I will assume this "journalist" is a state-sponsored mole who is paid to provide propaganda which make their own pathetic and trod-upon populace feel a little better about their own situations.
