According to the governor’s office, his plan would allocate $315 million for the state to “expeditiously” lease in-state and out-of-state prison capacity, including at county jails and private facilities.

The protest is the third and largest hunger strike staged by inmates over solitary confinement in the last two years.

Resource saving. Efficient. Fewer inmates and more food after a while.

I know, I’m awful.
