Chapter 191: Private Prison(3/4)
The old black man also had several broken ribs and multiple bone fractures in his arms.
Both of them suffered moderate concussions, skin trauma, soft tissue contusions, etc. Not to mention, they are not injuries.
Sean clicked his tongue twice. In fact, he was quite willing to watch this kind of low-skilled but fierce battle.
In comparison, in the second game, the two boxers were better technically and physically, but they didn't have murderous intent.
Well, it's more suitable for promotion. It's a bit worse for black boxing, it's not black enough.
However, for this kind of black boxing, the source of the boxers is a problem.
A fight is a serious injury. How many boxers can bear this kind of exhaustion?
Still have to rely on prison!
Thinking of the key point, Sean turned to look at Jonas and asked: "How many of the more than 85 prisons in New Jersey are private?"
"Ah?" Jonas was stunned for a moment, and then said after thinking about it carefully: "No, it's not personal, right?"
"How is that possible!?" Sean's face was full of surprise, but he remembered that most of the prisons in the United States in later generations were privately run.
With 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prisoners, the United States has created the world's largest prison population.
"What's the point of opening a private prison? It's not profitable!" Jonas looked at Sean in confusion.
Sean didn't speak, resting his forehead on his hand and lost in thought.
He can be sure that in the future, most prisons in the United States will be privately opened, and it is very profitable to open prisons. Several major prison giants are also listed companies.
But now there are not many private prisons.
So, what is the reason that led to the situation in prisons in later generations?
If you seize the opportunity, the business opportunities here are huge!
It's just that it's a bit late today.
Early the next morning, Sean went straight to the Newark Police Station to see his dear Chief Wells.
60% of the residents of Newark are black and it is a paradise for criminals. There are not too many criminals here. As the police chief, Wells will definitely be able to find some answers for himself.
Wells felt strange about Sean's sudden visit, and Sean's questions made him even more strange.
"Prison, private prison? Ha!" Wells laughed loudly: "Why, do you think there are too few bad guys around you, and are you ready to prepare more for yourself? Or are you afraid that one day you will be arrested and there will be no good place to go?
.”
"Fake, if I'm caught, I'll be the first to confess you!" Sean laughed and cursed.
All joking aside, Wells still found a lot of information according to Sean's request.
How many people have been sent to key prisons in Newark in the past ten years, what are the sentencing ranges, etc.
We know from Wells that not all criminals go to jail.
Because the government needs to spend money after being imprisoned, and the government does not want to invest so much money in criminals, and these investments will not return any returns!
Therefore, many criminals resort to fines and out-of-court settlements.
Currently, the proportion of criminals imprisoned in the United States is not high among the world's, less than 8%, which is only slightly more than the population.
Sean immediately contacted Governor Bennie and obtained the annual New Jersey investment in prisons from the state government.
And asked Jonas to get some information from the prison.
After comparing, Sean discovered the problem.
Is the current prison operation model different from that of the future? It is still an old-fashioned and traditional simple detention. Every year, the government needs to invest a lot of money in prisons.
Prison construction and maintenance costs, staff salary and welfare expenses, prisoners' living expenses, medical expenses, etc.
This is a huge expense for any state!
In order to reduce expenses, state governments at all levels can only reduce the number of criminals imprisoned and try to deal with less serious cases through plea bargaining and out-of-court settlement.
This is completely different from that of later generations, where people will be arrested if they can and sentenced if they can be judged.
"How is life in prison?" After sorting out the information in his hand, Sean asked Jonas.
"Not bad, our people are all fine," Jonas said.
"I mean ordinary people, what about ordinary people?"
"That's very bad. The accommodation conditions are very poor. The beds are all bunk beds. Six people have to live in a room. There is only one toilet and a basin for washing. Some conditions are so poor that eight people can live in a room.
You can only take a shower every two days!" Jonas reached out and made an 'eight' sign with some exaggeration.
"Very bad?!" Sean had a strange expression and looked at Jonas in disbelief.
"Well, it's very bad!" Jonas nodded with certainty and waved his arms exaggeratedly, "That's simply not how people live, it's too crowded!"
"The food is also very poor. Each meal only has an orange or other cheap fruits, and there is less than a pound of chicken every day."
Well, it turns out that none of Rabbit's students are human...
Well... most of them are not human.
"Okay, that's pretty bad." Sean thought for a while and nodded. The food of those old black men who do nothing and only rely on relief will not be worse than this.
Well, just go to various relief stations every day to get food coupons.
As he spoke, Sean slapped the table hard, startling Jonas.
"This is so inhumane, this is abuse, this is a crime, this is a disregard for human rights!" Sean cursed loudly with an indignant look.
Jonas looked at Sean with a weird expression, this... is so unreal!
"Even if they are criminals, they still have human rights and are living people. The government is an executioner. They cannot abuse criminals like this!"
"Yes, you can't!"
"I, Sean, will never allow this to happen before my eyes."
"Head, are you...sick?" Jonas looked at Sean uncertainly.
Sean: ̄へ ̄
"Is it weird that I speak for criminals?" Sean asked with a dark face.
"Uh..." Jonas thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "It's not surprising!"
"That's right." Sean was very satisfied.
"After all, you are the worst criminal!" Jonas pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
"Fake!" Sean kicked him hard.
Jonas laughed and jumped away.
"Boss, what are you going to do?" Jonas came over again and asked.
"Of course I am making a voice for those people who are being held in prisons and are suffering from abuse and unfair treatment. They need to get their rights!" Sean said decisively: "Jonas, go to various prisons and collect them.
Evidence, photos, videos of prisoner abuse.”
"In addition, let the gangs under your command find people who have been detained in prison before and ask them if they have received unfair treatment. All of them should be recorded."
"No, what are you doing?" Jonas looked confused.
"Take the prison to court. The people have the right to know the truth!"
Frank, Jonas rolled his eyes, he was convinced, Sean was hypnotizing himself all the time, as if he was really a good person.
"Okay, hurry up and do this damn thing, this is a big deal!" Sean smiled, grabbed a box of Cuban cigars and threw it over.
Jonas took it and then turned around and walked out with a smile.
Sean is not idle either. Sol is not around and has gone to India to develop the blending oil market, but he can find other lawyers.
In fact, you should set up a law firm under your own control.
Sean thought to himself.
After the lawyers were in place, Sean immediately brought the gang members who had been abused in prison to Newark and asked the legal team to record them in detail one by one.
It would be better to start a group lawsuit later.
At the same time, Sean asked Peter and several congressmen he supported to release the news, and reporters immediately came to interview him.
"Our compatriots are being treated unfairly!" With videos and photos in hand, these congressmen lashed out at various prisons in the state during interviews with reporters.
Beating of prisoners, forced labor, and even sexual abuse occurred.
In women's prisons, male guards force female prisoners to examine their bodies, perform sexual intercourse, and force them to sell money, etc.
As soon as the news media here exposed it, a group of lawyers over there took eight prisons to court at the same time in the county court.
The incident quickly spread through television, newspapers, radio and other channels. Most people in New Jersey, including New York, knew the news.
Accused in jail...
Before the court could hold court proceedings, another wave of demonstrations was held in major cities in New Jersey.
Those participating in the march this time are either gang members or have criminal records.
To be continued...
