Every time I go to comment on one of your posts, I get hung up on whether to comment on the sublime (the featured movie) or the ridiculous (the state of incarceration in our country).

On the movie: I saw this when it first came out, but still remember it fondly. And, as I remember, it is also an example of a movie scored exceedingly well.

On the ridiculous: If the BBB continues to passage, there may be too many prisoners and too few visitors to go around for the amount of visiting hours to matter. I wish I were being flippant, but $170 billion will round up and detain a lot of "undesirables". As you have pointed out, once the cells are built, they will be filled.

Also, let's call them what they are: concentration camps.
