• 5 million Pelican Bay State Prison, one of the newest, meanest super-max lockups in the system. ... The prison is also Crescent City and Del Norte County's largest employer-and in many ways the region's new colonial master.
• The new prison's political and economic clout is all-the-more exaggerated due to Crescent City's extreme isolation and poverty. ... By the time the CDC came scouting for a new prison site, unemployment had breached 20 percent. ... Prison was its only hope.
• Today in Crescent City the emerging American police state means economic survival; Pelican Bay provides I,500 jobs, an annual payroll of $50 million, and a budget of over $90 million. Indirectly, the prison has created work in everything from construction and pumping gas to domestic violence counseling. Just the contract for hauling away the prison's garbage is worth $ 130,000 a year - big money in California's poorest county. ...
• According to one report, the prison labor, billed at the meager sum of $7 per hour, would have cost the county at least $766,300. "Without the prison we wouldn't exist," says Cochran.

• Is prison building the current delivery system for Keynesian stimulus in a post Cold War, demilitarized America? Is the emerging prison industrial complex replacing or augmenting that behemoth constellation of civilian government, military power, and private capital that Eisenhower dubbed the "military industrial complex" and which for two generations has been America's defacto industrial policy? This is the line argued by a few on the left and, to some extent, by writers in the Wall Street Journal and Atlantic Monthly. ...
• Nonetheless, we might ask: are specific corporate interests driving criminal justice policy, as is often the case with military policy? This "prison as Pentagon" argument generally cites three ways in which incarceration bolsters capitalism: broad Keynesian stimulus (as in the case of Crescent City), the privatization of prisons and prison-related services, and the exploitation of prison labor by private firms. All of these features of the prison industrial complex are important, but none of them-alone or together-explains why we are headed for what Jerome Miller calls a "gulag state. ...

• Segregation causes “violence and xenophobia,” said Carbone, of California Prison Focus. ...
• “The prison locks down prisoners solely according to race, and prisoners who request to live with a person of another race are almost always denied,” said Carbone. ...
• Carbone said that San Quentin Warden Jeanne Woodford admitted only that the prison uses race as the factor when conducting a lockdown. ... The CDC claims the segregation that does exist is in response to prison gangs, rather than the department’s social policy.
• But Sexton and other activists say the delay was a retaliation taken by the prison against Ngo for his endeavors.
• “His route from San Quentin to Avenal State Prison has been torturous and is directly related to the important implications of the litigation he’s pursuing. ...
• “By throwing grievances into a bureaucratic black hole, the prison averts having to address prisoners’Ç real issues and dodges accountability for the grievances prisoners suffer,” Luk said.
