The various topics that Mr. Fullerton covers in the series consist of the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Private Prisons<\/li>\n<li>Electronic Monitoring<\/li>\n<li>Risk Assessment Tools<\/li>\n<li>Charitable Bail Funds<\/li>\n<li>Drug Testing<\/li>\n<li>The Foundation Funding Network<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Each of these topics is directly linked to a group or groups that financially benefit from their implementation. And each of the groups behind these topics are proponents for the elimination of financially secured release in our criminal justice system. Is that a coincidence or a purposeful plan to reform the system for financial gain? You are going to have to decide for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Below are links to each article in the series.
