Just wanted to alert you all to two new articles detailing the catastrophe that was/is the Idaho Correctional Center, informally called the "Gladiator School" by prisoners housed there due to its extreme levels of violence. The ACLU recently settled a lawsuit with CCA for an undisclosed sum.
The first article details how the prison remains the most violent prison in the state of Idaho, even after the lawsuit.
The second continues to discuss the violence and then tries to figure out what lessons can be learned from the experience. My two cents: don't privatize prisons. I know, you're shocked.
