It Has Come to This

There was an article in this morning's paper regarding where to hold the trials of the detainees held in Guantanamo. Many have expressed unease and dismay at the prospect of suspected terrorists being brought to their state. Many, but not all. Workers at the Standish Maximum Security Prison in Michigan said they would welcome the suspects "with open arms." The reason for this welcome is that the influx of prisoners would "save their jobs". Evidently, prison business is slow in Standish due to the recession. Perhaps they should use some of their federal stimulus money to instigate a crime wave so as to prop up the local economy.
