Raises
Awareness
of
2
Million
Prisoners
2/18/00
This week, the good people at TomPaine.com did much to raise awareness of our nation's exploding prison population. An ad, which ran on the Op-ed page of Wednesday's New York Times, provides an irreverent and thought-provoking look at the other side of the prison boom... those who are profiting from it.
View TomPaine.com's ad at http://www.tompaine.com/op_ad.html -- and when you're done, check out their features on the two million, prison labor, and on California's Prop 215, at http://www.tompaine.com/features/2000/02/14/2.html on the web.
If you like what you see there let them know -- and tell them DRCNet sent you.
