We recently came across an NPR article that speaks about the role of prisons and the benefits prison makers have to gain with the implementation of the SB1070 law with the expected increased of imprisoned immigrants.  Check it out.  On a related note, an example of the absurdity surrounding arrests and SB1070, an friend of OBEY was recently arrested, along with 23 other students, professionals, and activists, in Los Angeles for civil disobedience against SB1070.  The group is now being slammed with serious charges of resisting arrest which faces up to a year in jail.   Below is a link for more information about the case and a place to show your support.
