I was asked to make a Milton megathread, so that is what I am doing. I’m going to be somewhat busy this evening, so I don’t think I’ll be able to quickly or easily update the thread with new information, but here are some resources:

    My personal cynical take? It’d cost too much money and the for profit prisons didn’t want to pay it.

    I’m sure they’ll spin some bs about security but prisoner transfers happen all the time and people’s lives are on the line.
