Pictures: "Lego Block" Prison Cells Readied
In Utah
Debate rages over blocks that can be snapped together
to build prisons anywhere, at any time

Pictures of concrete prison cells being unloaded from wagons in
Utah earlier this month have surfaced on the internet, causing
a storm of debate over their purpose.
The cells are designed specifically so they can
be snapped together side by side and on top of each other like
lego blocks to form rows and columns.
Each block looks to contain 2 cells of little more
than six feet square each.
The pictures first appeared earlier this week on
the alternative news website Fourwinds10.com.
According to the owners of that website, the pictures
were taken on Monday, September 8 2008 at around 3 PM at University
Ave, East Bay, Provo in Utah.
Since that time they have spread to various forums
and websites, sparking off a lively debate as to who these cells
are for and in what circumstances their use is envisioned.

Those suspecting a sinister use for the cells have
described them as "portable prisons" and argued that
they may be being readied to deal with mass civil unrest in America.
The surfacing of the pictures dovetails with news
that U.S. troops returning from duty in Iraq will be carrying
out homeland
patrols in America from October 1st in complete violation
of Posse Comitatus for the purposes of helping with “civil
unrest and crowd control”.
Others have also linked the discovery of the cells to a similar
story of hundreds of thousands of plastic coffins
recently uncovered in Georgia.
The less conspiracy minded have asserted that the
precast concrete facilities have been in production since the
1980s and represent what is known as "modular construction",
which is also used sometimes to build hotels and other permanent
structures.
"They integrate everything at the factory (lighting/plumbing/security
hardware) and ship it directly to where ever the prison/jail/correctional
facility/internment camp is at. Lift cells up, drop in place,
splice a few wires and pipes, and voila! Instant prison."
writes one commenter on reddit.
What is not up for debate however is that the United States has
less than 5 percent of the world's population, but it now has
almost a quarter
of the world's prisoners.
According to the prison studies center, the US has 751 people
in prison or jail for every 100,000 in population. That means
that if you count only adults, one in 100 Americans is locked
up. Those figures dwarf any other nation, including China which
is four times more populous than the US.
However, from these pictures it is apparent that there still
aren't enough cells, and more cheap and quick prisons are being
built with taxpayer dollars.
Another fact not up for debate is that there is a coordinated
federal government program to build civilian detention
camps at undisclosed locations throughout the United States, in
conjunction with the Army and the Pentagon.
There is no debate over the fact that the prison industry in
the "land of the free" is out of control.
