  Headline should read "Attorney general takes on big banks and sex traffickers, gets pushback from those above her who stink of corruption"
context: "The decision by Governor Albert Bryan to fire the A.G. came just days after Bloomberg News revealed that Ms. George in her capacity as V.I. attorney general had filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase — the largest bank in the United States and the world's largest bank by market capitalization — without first informing Governor Bryan of such a major action, said a person with knowledge of the matter.
  The lawsuit claims JPMorgan Chase facilitated convicted felon Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of women and girls, alleging that the bank should have known about Epstein’s illegal activity and as part of its anti-money laundering procedures, should have reported their client to authorities." >
  
  Methinks someone doesn’t want that client list to be discovered. 
  Good for her, and screw him. I hope she pushes back. >
  
  That list is scrubbed by the time we see it. >
  
  Prisons should have those amenities. What do you think happens when you lock people up with nothing to do? Fuck Maxwell and all that, but your anger is misplaced >
  
  Rehabilitation should always be the default goal. But in these kinds of 1/100.000.000 cases where someone has the means to do literally anything in this world and opts to rape kids and deny it until they're found guilty, I think most would agree they can reasonably be denied those amenities. >
  
  I see where you're coming from 
  I would argue we should still provide these services to people who are not worthy. We have essentially made them wards of the state, denying them autonomy for the remainder of their lives, rending them incapable of the kind of damage they could previously enact. What do we, as a society gain from making them miserable? If we begin to see the prison system as a weapon to do harm with what will the end result of that be societally?
  Edit: many of you are replying to this with broader subjects surrounding prison justice, and while i generally agree with all of those sentiments this comment is specifically about justifying amenities for even the worst people incarcerated. >
  
  The prison system is already weaponized in the USA. Only its weaponized against the poor/marginalized. White collar criminals go to club fed, and everyone else gets for-profit state prisons, with slave labour and 23 hr lock downs. >
  
  This is true, but making the better prisons worse wont make the worse ones better. >
  
  I agree with you. I think we should treat all people with respect, even the people that don't deserve respect. I also know that even at the best prisons, things like the offering of yoga/pilates means that an instructor comes maybe once a month to teach a class. And that websites use sensational titles to generate clicks. Prison sucks, even with pilates classes. >
  
  This is in the Virgin Islands, for those who didn’t immediately get the references to V.I. or USVI. >
  
  Thank you. I didn't. Times like this make me which subreddit rules allowed clarification (e.g. location) in the headline. As it's currently written, it is simply meaningless to me.
