Sheriff Hodgson and CLASS action


          When corporate corruption dominates the headlines, I find it

    all the  more outrageous to  read how arrogant and inhumane county

    sheriffs -like Thomas M. Hodgson - will think of new ways to psychologically

    destroy the prison UNDERCLASS  over whom he has unchecked power.

             Now the Bristol County sadist is getting headlines again

    with his plan to charge prisoners -most of whom are from the lower

    social strata - $5 a day for room and board.

              If this society makes no serious efforts to  really improve

    prison conditions, to really  REFORM  law-breakers, the prison population

    will only grow exponentially. It seems that the white collar class

    represented by Mr. Hodgson wants to INVEST in criminality !

             There are limits to the humiliation of the human spirit.

    Read " A  Tale of Two Cities " by Charles Dickens. He was right to

    trace the excesses of the French Revolution to the hard heartedness of

    the aristocracy.

          Does the  name Thomas M. Hodgson appear on a special list of

    present day
                 Madame LaFarge ?

               To be sure, he is indeed a CLASS enemy !
