Quote of the Day: “The most interesting segment of the prison population are the “Piezas.” (A “Pieza” is a Mexican Roadrunner. The term has been adapted to those that are here from Mexico.) Most of these guys had no prior criminal history. They were in jail for crossing the border — an imaginary line. We’ve decided that’s a felony. And they’ve been getting between three and five years in jail. And while they’re incarcerated, they have to work. And they’re often fined for their crime. They’re fined an amount that just happens to add up to the 12-cents-an-hour that they make while they’re incarcerated. So our government has time-share slaves. Instead of getting our slaves from Africa, we’re getting people that come to America to build better opportunities for themselves. And they end up spending three-to-five years building government furniture.” - Josh Wolf, from Anarchy for the USA: A Conversation with Josh Wolf
