文化面面觀  Prison industry in the U. S. 美國的監(jiān)獄產(chǎn)業(yè)

Oregon State Representative Kevin Mannix recently urged Nike to cut its production in Indonesia and bring it to his state, telling the shoe manufacturer that "there won't be any transportation costs; we're offering you competitive prison labor (here)."

The prison privatization boom began in the 1980s, under the governments of Ronald Reagan and Bush Sr., but reached its height in 1990 under William Clinton, when Wall Street stocks were selling like hotcakes. Clinton's program for cutting the cutting the federal workforce resulted in the Justice Departments contracting of private prison corporations for the incarceration of undocumented workers and high-security inmates.

Private prisons are the biggest business in the prison industry complex. About 18 corporations guard 10,000 prisoners in 27 states. The two largest are Correctional Corporation of America (CCA) and Wackenhut, which together control 75%. Private prisons receive a guaranteed amount of money for each prisoner, independent of what it costs to maintain each one. According to Russell Boraas, a private prison administrator in Virginia, "the secret to low operating costs is having a minimal number of guards for the maximum number of prisoners." The CCA has an ultra-modern prison in Lawrenceville, Virginia, where five guards on dayshift and two at night watch over 750 prisoners. In these prisons, inmates may get their sentences reduced for "good behavior," but for any infraction, they get 30 days added - which means more profits for CCA. According to a study of New Mexico prisons, it was found that CCA inmates lost "good behavior time" at a rate eight times higher than those in state prisons. (www.granma.cu)

我觀之我見

Fish Cherry 因為無法忍受T-bag的折磨，向Michael 求救，Michael勸說T-bag不成，考慮到越獄的計劃，拒絕了Cherry的請求。走投無路的Cherry萬念俱灰，用床單上吊自殺了。這一幕無論是對Michael還是對觀眾觸動都很大：在這個弱肉強(qiáng)食的世界里，生存不僅要靠技術(shù)和手段，還要有堅定的信念。無論是在監(jiān)獄內(nèi)外，這條道理都適用。
