Jails Are a Cash Cow for the Rich
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30655-prisoners-are-a-cash-cow-for-th=
e-rich
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Thanks to kickbacks from ph=
one companies, state and local governments have every reason to keep their =

o much money to be made, it's that much harder to reform our screwed-up cri=
minal legal system.

Nomi Prins, TomDispatch: No matter what spin is used for campaigning purpos=
es, the idea that a critical distance can be maintained between the White H=
ouse and Wall Street is na=C3=AFve. Hillary's path aligns with that of the =
country's most powerful bankers. If she becomes president, that will remain=
the case.
