You know what always amazes me about research, is the amount of stuff you LEARN. I am learning so much, now about private prisons, something I didn’t realize is SOOO much an entire area of research on its own. People are out there rallying against private prisons, which has been only a corner of the market and will probably stay that way. The issue is being debated in every state & in other countries, Articles about Scotland, New Zealand, & many more are debating having prisons run like a business.
I am very tired & stressed, but just going forward to get through all the info. I have, & will then see what’s missing. Tomorrow I do a phone interview at 11am. I will have to take notes, as I don’t have time to record or transcribe, & can’t even locate my recorder at the moment. Tonight I am going through 2 yrs’ worth of articles that came out of a News Database from our library, with a search on “private prisons”. 67pp. I am learning so much from it, though it’s mostly background material. Occasionally I run across something really important for my chapter.
My 7pp. now written is from links and names sent to me on e-mail. Haven’t even finished that material, still need to go back to my online prison reform groups & check them. Even though I said to write me on email, some will just post a message to the online group, so I have to go back & check.
I will have to break at some point soon & grade my last midterm exams, as midterm grades are due tomorrow.
…Meanwhile, the 33 MINERS still underground after 2 mos. are about to be rescued, God willing, starting tonight. I am glued to CNN, tho’ I turn off the sound as it distracts me totally. CNN is running it 24/7 until they are all out. Please God let them all get out. What would you do if you were down there? Would you volunteer to be the last one out?
