Please. Send ‘em here. We haven’t been as hard hit by the economy as a lot of other states, but since our only federal facility is a medium security joint holding Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff we’ll need some cash to build a maximum security holding cell since everyone else is being such a baby about it. But we’ll take them. We do football and crabs, we can handle some jihadist morons too.
Cons don’t trust our prison guards. This is part of their hatred of police that lead to the Pittsburgh police shooting

Medium Security? How long is a suspected terrorist who barely speaks English going to last in Baltimore County lockup with a bunch of guys who have relatives in Iraq and Afghanistan? A week, tops. Put them in a federal prison and they might last longer, if the guards put effort into protecting them.
I just can’t believe that Republicans (and some Democrats) are so scared of 600 guys who have been in prison already for 6 years.
I mean, we have more people in prison in this country than any other nation in the world, including despotic regimes. We have more non-violent offenders in jail than any other nation.
You guys are telling me we can’t incarcerate these 600 guys because they are so scary? But the dude who shot and ate his neighbors is not?
Please.
