The prison-industrial complex (PIC) is a term, coined after the "military-industrial complex" of the 1950s, used by scholars and activists to describe the relationship between a government and the various businesses that benefit from institutions of incarceration (such as prisons, jails, detention facilities, and psychiatric hospitals). The term is most often used in the context of the contemporary United States, where the rapid expansion of the U.S. inmate population has resulted in political influence and economic profits for private prison companies and other businesses that supply goods and services to government prison agencies. According to this concept, incarceration benefits not only the justice system, but also construction companies, surveillance and corrections technology vendors, companies that operate prison food services and medical facilities, corporations that contract cheap prison labor, correctional officers unions, private probation companies, lawyers, and the lobby groups that represent them.Email us: [email protected]: thefacthunter.comShow NotesThe Reagan Administration’s Drug War (1982)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgMYDdwAfRYRonald Reagan-Speech to the Nation on the Campaign Against Drug Abusehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYWS7udm0ygThis Is Your Brain On Drugshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOnENVylxPIThe Drug War and the Prison-Industrial Complexhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIoMJd2VdfkGary Webb, Dark Alliancehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFXUHgbLukYGary Webbhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_WebbEverything Americans Need To Know About The Prison Industrial Complexhttps://www.ranker.com/list/prison-industrial-complex-facts/harrison-tenpas30+ USA Prisons Statistics: Numbers Explained!https://legaljobs.io/blog/usa-prisons-statistics/Prison–industrial complexhttps://tok.fandom.com/wiki/Prison–industrial_complexWilliam Grigghttp://freedominourtime.blogspot.com

In our second of a two part series, we look at the peculiar events of the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan. Was George HW Bush trying to get him out of the way to take the presidency? Was it smoke & mirrors to pass more gun control? Or did the Secret Service agent shoot Reagan inside the limo but fail to kill him?
