  1. Re:Prison is a big business on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 0

    Actually, working for corrections in a state without privatly run prisons, we work hard to keep people out. It costs the state way too much money to keep a person in prison who doesn't need to be there. When the average prison in a state is 20% over capacity, prison is not a big buisness. It is a money pit. Every time a legislator makes "tougher laws for blah blah blah", it doesn't come with a funding increase or a budget to build a new prison. All we can do is shake our heads and wonder where we are going to put them.

    Our copier vendors warned us about this feature in some color copiers years ago. Also, they don't just deny you. They shut down until an authorized tech can unlock them.

    When I was in college, I lived in an all-male dorm, so most floors had a men's bathroom shower combination. That did not stop girlfriends and other male enthusiasts (for those who do not want to be labeled a girlfriend) from pretty much using the facilities whenever the pleased-after a courtesy warning for the shy.

    It seems to me that some similar situation can be worked out here.
