Our prisons are profit motivated. Therefore there is no incentive to correct behavior. The only incentive is to increase head count, as that will increase shareholder value. This is why the U.S. holds one quarter of the global prison population right here in the 'land of the free'.

At least the bear didn't have a gun and a badge, like the N.Y. cops. I'll take my chances with the bear.

(On Sunday afternoon) My Specialized 49cm Fixie was stolen from in front of Diamond Club Tattoo Shop on Van-Ness and near Pacific. I used a rope lock which was not properly situated or locked to the rear post.

The Neighbor may have a camera that caught the perpetrator.
