Default Re: Recycling?

Switching garbage companies does not mean they would switch landfill sites and the prisoners would still be available at those sites. In Florida, they do not let the convicted prisoners lounge and watch Television. Some of them work in gardens supplying food for the other prisoners. Take a ride up 35 in Marion county to 468 and look at the large farm on the left. If you go up 301 and pass the Sheriff's station, there used to be a sign that it was built by the prisoners. if you drive almost any highway, you will see the prisoners with the green horizontal stripes doing road work. In Florida, if you get a certain number of DUIs and get sent to the "P" farm, it means that you are going to pick "P"eas and other vegetables for 30-90 days.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that the prisoners sort the recyclables?
