Broken record

Nobody is investigating prisons?

Nobody is investigating prisons.

Nobody is investigating prisons?

Nobody is planning a series of investigative reports about prisons to be published until prisons stop being a national disgrace?

So many of the people whom I have known in homeless shelters; you're planning for them to be replaced with people who have had almost identical lives?

You feel that there are already enough past reports about prisons, and since nothing of importance takes place in them anyway, since people's lives stop for all intensive purposes once they're locked up, there's nothing to write about?

When the summer is over and it's too cold to protest in many states, then it will be almost time for the election anyway?  Is that how the media is thinking about it?

All of those people in jail, connected to the protests through the television, thinking that it all might do something to improve their lives, to materialize hope; it won't?  You don't think that you need to talk to them?
