27 prisoners have died in custody in Mississippi since December

Conditions in these prisons are crimes against humanity.

1. What time frame are we talking?

Were the bodies cremated within hours? That's also suspicious.

Is there a geographical pattern as far as counties?

We can all guess which race this happened to.

8. That's only 67 days.

I remember wanting to boycott MS for their usual human rights violations last year, but they don't manufacture anything worthwhile.

I understand why they're 50th in everything except racism. It's sick.

2. wait until corona hits prisons.....

It will spread like wildfire. Guards and staff levels will be devastated.

Nobody is ready for that.

3. I'm in Idaho and our illustrious state legislature actually booted out the Corrections Corp. of

America. I was astounded! Do they have those guys running anything there? They were understaffing and feeding them shit. Our state penitentiary was called "a gladiator training school". The inmates were running the place.

It's almost more amazing that after Idaho got rid of them, more states didn't throw them out. Of course there is vastly more money involved in almost every other state they operate in. I'm sure that's the real reason.

4. Which prison?

A lot of states ship their prisoners out of state when they are overcrowded.

5. Maybe ask Bernie why his state exports prisoners from his state there....

I realize Bernie has a revolution to run so he must be too busy to check into this since 2016.

'The two men have been in the Vermont prison system long enough to have been sent out of state to four different prison facilities, including stints in Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and now Mississippi.'

Doesn't Vermont build prisons? Hell they probably could get the use of one of the closed NY sites.
