“Got elderly parents that can’t care for themselves anymore? Are they wandering around, demented? Can’t get out of bed? Need to be spoon-fed and have diapers changed? All that is cramping your style! Not a worry! For the low-low price of $1,800/per month we can arrange transport to take that pesky old person off your hands. No more bother! Resume your normal, active, lifestyle!
“How about severely disabled people? Crippled to the point they can’t even move in a wheelchair? Or so dumb that they can’t talk or be taught anything? Can’t even get a job and contribute to the household? Again, we have plans to deal with the chronically disabled to get them out of your roof!
“Speaking of Children, are yours being difficult? I know kids can be a handful, especially teenagers being rowdy and rebellious. Little one won’t leave you alone? Big one being disobedient? All and all, having to tend to these bundles of joy only for them to be disappointments? For $1,200 per month we will send transport in the dead of night, you know, so they don’t escape, and take them to one of our many facilities to make them into your dream child: quiet, Christian, and wanting a STEM career!
“Maybe its someone with mental illness. Running around, making nuisance of themselves, could even be dangerous? No problem! We got state of the art padded rooms for your crazies to be stored in, and all the drugs to keep them passive!
“We at St. Mother Theresa’s Care and Corrections, we can fulfil all your human warehousing needs!
“We have plans and rates for government organisations. Got criminals making your streets a more dangerous place? Muggings, beatings, rapes, even murder? Drawing graffiti and stealing from the struggling, local, businesses? We have bulk rates to take those troublesome thugs off of your law enforcement agency, and store them in secure holding cells, to keep the streets safe and free!
“What of homeless people dirtying the streets? Squatting in parks? Harassing the locals who live and pay taxes in the area? You can’t exterminate them, there are laws against that, but, we do have plans that allow for us to trap and store!
“All our facilities meet the highest of standards for keeping people secured. We have armed guards patrolling the area with 24-7 monitoring to prevent escape. We also have nurses and doctors to ensure their basic medical needs are met, including the administering of sedatives and anti-psychotics! They are also fed and clothed while they are in our facilities!
“Founded in Idaho, with high incarceration rates of the US we have gotten human storage down to a science! They ain’t getting out once their in! You won’t have to see them ever again!
"We very much do the good work of our patron saint, Mother Theresa, who ran sanatoriums that stored away the sick and helpless until their inevitable deaths. In turn keeping them from being burdens on society, and on their loved ones.
“So, you have a person you want to get rid of, but can’t legally kill them? St. Mother Theresa’s Care and Corrections has a storage unit within our warehouses for them, so they can be locked away and forgotten, and you can get on with your life without ever seeing these burdensome people. Live sheltered from the fact that they even exist!

We are in agreement. Greed and need are out of control. Our US Supreme Court is changing laws that have been precedent for almost 90 years. The decisions are based on the beliefs of the the same people who have given millions of dollars to judges and politicians. This was the beginning of the court systems over turning equal rights, and many, if not all, of these judges are not voted for but put into the positions to push forward their agendas.
Draconian is an understatement.I'm sure these services and more are offered for profit human storage. But what about equal rights vs. incarceration? There are no good answers when it's a for-profit penitentiary. The other side of that are the guards that keep the population under their control. They are just as traumatized as the population is. For-profit human storage is worse than death. it's suffering one's loss of identity loss of self losing your family. Once you die, all of your needs end with you. But people have to have a job so they use the unfortunate ones as slaves. It's like sanctioned slavery and it makes all involved less then human.
