Also, this individual has no sense of loyalty and tends to focus on ANYTHING that is sensational in media, according to Wikipedia. Thanks for the heads-up!

Did you miss my other OP this morning? I took plenty of time researching the topic:

The highest suicide rates occur in small jails, according to a Department of Justice report. In jails holding 50 or fewer inmates, the suicide rate was 167 per 100,000; in the largest jails, the suicide rate was 27 per 100,000 inmates, the DOJ said.

Second, City-Journal is a part of the Manhattan Institute:

Fact Sheet: Manhattan Institute

The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research is an extremely conservative, corporate-funded, New York-based policy group.

The Manhattan Institute was founded by former CIA director William J. Casey in 1978. It was originally called the International Center for Economic Policy Studies, renamed the Manhattan Institute in 1980.

The Manhattan Institute is funded largely by major corporations and conservative foundations. According to the group's 10-year review, published in 1990, "by 1989, total contributions had grown to $2,113,000, 41 percent of which came from conservative and/or corporate foundations. Thirty-three percent came from Fortune 500 corporations, chiefly insurance companies and pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturers including $50,000-plus each from Aetna and State From Insurance and $15,000-plus each from Prudential, Exxon, RJR Nabisco, Philip Morris, Bristol-Myers and Pfizer. Total revenue has grown to about $6 million, according to the 1997 edition of The Right Guide. See, Chesebro, "Galileo's Retort: Peter Huber's Junk Scholarship," 42 Am. U.L.Rev. 1637 (1993).

THIS IS NOT A VALID SOURCE FOR DU.

with zero credibility

... and you are being MUCH too kind.

After college, I got a position as an account executive at a 100,000 watt radio station, in Alabama. I was still naive about media and did not realize what I had - until it was gone. Unlike subsequent jobs, in radio, this station was paying me a SALARY PLUS A 15% COMMISSION. I was also allowed to trade commercials for ALL gasoline expenses.

One day, while rushing to my appointment with a client, I sped up my sports-car to make it through a yellow-light, right in front of a cop, who wrote me a reckless-driving ticket.

Previously, an article on media, had prompted me to apply for a job in television, at a station in the Florida pan-handle. The article accurately reported that big media markets hired people from media-saturated markets in Florida.

After obtaining the television position in Florida, I was driving back to Alabama to make the required court appearance, for reckless driving - a serious traffic offense. On the way home, my sports-car broke down and stranded me overnight in Florida, causing me to be late for court the next day.

Upon reporting to the authorities, only a few hours late - in Alabama - I was jailed immediately, with a relatively high bond. Since I was also charged with "Failure to Appear," no bondsman would provide bond. I had also accumulated a few parking tickets; but none were for parking in a handicapped zone.

While incarcerated, I heard other prisoners talking about the jailers making money by keeping us in jail and thought they were delusional; but they were correct! We were detained in a for-profit facility, similar to the ones used to detain children - some are US citizens - in Florida. While this type of facility does cost city, county and federal taxpayers money, they make a massive profit for every day a prisoner is detained.

Believe it or not, on a couple of the parking tickets I obtained, guards did not deliver me to court on time, which caused other charges to be added.

In fact, everything in the Opening Post about ALL potentially dangerous items that prisoners are not allowed to possess is true.

There was no way to commit suicide in that Alabama Hell-hole.

I am so sorry that happened to you. For profit prisons are anti-democratic and un-American.

I definitely don’t have trouble believing that they make it hard to commit suicide in prison. I just questioned Judith Miller’s motives on basically everything she writes.

And welcome to DU.

Instead of putting it in a 401-K, or similar retirement fund I blew the money and now live in a high-crime area of Albuquerque, NM. At least I get to talk to real Native Americans and Hispanics almost every day, instead of Alabama racists.

When I worked at the ONLY African-American radio station in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with an enormous listenership (WTUG) potential sponsors would say: I know that you have the best numbers in Tuscaloosa; but we don't want those people in our store.

At the end of my college experience at the University of Alabama (the 3rd ranked school of communication, in the nation, at the time) I did an internship with Project R.O.S.E (Recycled Oil Saves Energy), where every Public Relations article I wrote was published verbatim, by the Tuscaloosa News. At the time, people in the area were dumping used motor-oil in the national forest or down sewers.

Taking out “enemies of the state,” wherever they are, is their specialty.

Nothing is too far-out for them. For Christ’s sake, they poison their targets in public parks.
