Byberry opened in 1907 and closed in 1990.

Trans-Allegheny opened in 1863 and closed in 1994.

Willard Asylum opened in 1869 and closed in 1995.

Danvers opened in 1878 and closed in 1985.

These are just a few in the institutions that closed. As you can see the buildings were extremely old, so refurbishing/rebuilding them without fed funding (Reagan cut it in 1981) was impossible without massive tax increases neither the feds or states wanted.

The stories attached also tell of abuses that occured in each institution.

Ok. You're right about that.

But the link to the Balfour is about what Britain did, not Jewish people.

Do you have any links verifying your statement that Jewish people were practicing apartheid during WW1?

The problem being Securus is there for the jail owners, not the residents.

Well that's a shitty desire, esp since the Bible was written for those who believe, not for believers to use as a bludgeon on everyone around them.

That was written after WW1 began. The link and population I provided were from pre-WW1.

So no, it's not a good place to start.

No, I said what I meant. If you have a problem with that, fine. But don't scream at me because of it.

The real problem lies in the how SCOTUS rules on Constitutional matters, using "original intent" vs "original intent AND current societal, technological, etc changes" (which is how Canada's SCoC rules).

There's literal shit-ton of non-boomer politicians acting in their own self-interest now.

Age is not a good indicator of selfishness.

The consequences of your actions will affect your great-grandkids but you're unlikely to be alive to see it happen.

Does that mean you should be cancelled as well?

How could less than 10% of Palestine's population cause unrest on the eve of WW1? Because there were only 80,000 Jews in Palestine then.

If you have sources saying otherwise, please post them.

No.

People needing mental health care should NEVER be in a jail. Full stop.

Because they were literal shitholes in decrepit buildings who had loooong histories of viciously abusing their residents.

The problem was they needed to be shut down, but first local supports needed to be put into place for them. Instead Reagan just booted people into the streets with zero money, zero training and zero supports. This was the start of the massive unhoused population increase you see playing out today.

Btw the same thing happened at the same time in Canada, because we had a right-wing gov't who was Reagan's lapdog.

Brandon Prichard "Direct democracy should not exist".

Wtf kind of democracy is he advocating for then?

Idjits gotta idjit I guess.

According to representatives for Securus and DOC, a technical error during a system update caused the deletion of the drafts.

Cool. Where's your proof? And what happened the previous 2 times you wiped everyone's drafts????

Fuck Securus.

Imo age is a shitty metric to go by because it misses outward indications of maturity or debilitation. Just because someone is 70 doesn't mean they have dementia (or dementia could have started when they were 50), and just because someone is 17 doesn't mean they're not knowledgable enough to vote for a gov't.

Yes he should have, but under 24-hr supervision.

Herein lies the biggest issue with those who suffer from severe mental health issues ... warehousing them in a jail is stupid, yet that's what happens almost every single time.

Maybe instead of increasing cop's budgets exponentially, take 30% of that money and invest it in supports for people who need it, esp mentally ill people.

You seem to be advocating to throw out the baby with the bathwater here. In no way, shape or form is MAID a bad thing ... even tho there are documented cases of bad actors being involved. Better training and regulation are required - and I question opening MAID to those suffering from mental health issues - but putting an end to it completely makes it sound like you're a right-wing fundamentalist who is simply looking to force your beliefs on us all.

And if that's the case you can just gtfo.

... it started mostly in 1948

Not to be pedantic here, but it did start in 1948 ... because before that there had been no Jewish state for almost 2000 years, after Rome destroyed the Second Temple in 70 AD and the Diaspora began.
