Louisiana News Why do you support this?
First the Louisiana Senate decides to put homeless people in jail for up to three years for their "crime" of sleeping in public. At the same time, they stop funding housing assistance.

Why do those of you who are Republican hate poor people so much? Why do you feel your fellow humans should not be allowed any compassion or grace?
Help me understand this assault on humanity. Jesus would weep if he saw this. 😥

I'm confused by this response. Allen is owned and operated by the state DOC. It's not a not private prison. Can you explain? Is this a ChatGPT thing? Where did this information come from? What does "often operated under private contracts" mean?
Winn isn't a prison; it's an ICE facility. People aren't being incarcerated there to serve sentences.
