When completed, the facility will be even taller than the Statue of Liberty... which definitely says something about the nation's priorities.

Unironically, housing everyone is much cheaper than incarceration. But we don’t do the cheaper thing, we do the vindictive thing.

You had "skyjail" or even "skykeep" but you chose "jailscraper"? Smh. Let our oppression at least sound cool.
