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 !
