Angola is named after the slave plantation that was in its place prior to the civil war. Guess what the majority of labor the prisoners there do is.
Is that the one where the whole town pretty much exists for the prison?
you have no idea how little that narrows it down
lol yea. 
But who will pick the cotton now!?
This is beyond an America moment, what the actual fuck?
I long for Balkanization, but an independent Texas would be so horrifying, that Texas needs THE US to keep it from committing the human rights violations it wants to do.

Police Minister Mark Ryan yesterday moved dozens of pages of amendments to a bill on child protection offender reporting, including allowing police watch houses and adult prisons to be used as youth detention centres.
It would override the state's Human Rights Act for the second time this year.
Both the Greens and the opposition have criticised the government for tacking on "significant" amendments to "unrelated" legislation and circumventing the parliamentary committee process.
Appearing on ABC News Breakfast on Thursday morning, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk defended the move, saying the amendments about watch houses “is not something new” and “formalises a practice that has been in place for 30 years”.

He said inmates were allowed to sleep on the verandah or Roebourne regional prison.
"That happens quite a bit because people feel far more comfortable sleeping outside on the verandah than in their cells," he said.
Mr Logan said back in 2020 that the prison was designed to have maximum airflow.
"The idea of air conditioning the whole of the prison is not only quite expensive, it's also very expensive. It's whether people would appreciate it because there are some people who literally don't like air conditioning."
"They just like it that way"
I am in agreement on the sentiment expressed here but can you tell us why you haven't yet drug people out into the streets and beaten them @Posadas@hexbear.net ?
instead of taking it literally as an individual challenge think of it as lamenting the lack of a social formation that can do something besides pursue profit
That's not exactly something someone does on their own
I'm appalled that they haven't yet quite frankly
