Football Stadium to be named for a private prison corporation. I hope they are proud of themselves.

What was the prison thinking?

Why are you trying to market a prison?

[exstatman]

A company offers $5 million to a university for naming rights, and someone expects the president to decline? What this probably says is there were not multiple offers of that size.

More prisoners equates to more taxpayers money. The privitization of prisons has had one of the bigger impacts on the manipulation of our laws. More on how long prison stays are for nonviolent crimes. I cannot wait until I can make enough money, and move from this country.

They paid $6 million. But i am sure the president just wants his cut no matter who the sponsor is.
