Portland Press Herald, prison industry apologist

Jeff Ingles from the Portland Phoenix details how the Portland Press Herald has become an enthusiastic apologist for the prison/industrial complex.

"Not only did a Friday editoral fail to note that the Corrections policy of moving inmates from prison to a jail is in violation of a federal court order rediscovered by the Portland Phoenix and reported on in the June 29 issue,
" Ingles writes, "but Sunday's column by obscurer-in-chief Bill Nemitz makes no note of the fact that the Maine Department of Corrections has been failing to treat mentally ill inmates for their medical conditions for more than 18 months"
