Best familiarize yourself with them...
Probably a lot of us will end up in one of them (or worse) before the communists are through...

When Joepedo and knees-Harris call for “hard times” for the unvaccinated and other terrorists, they ain’t talking about fun in bed...

Yeah, probably the origin of “Hey, I didn’t mean to barge in.”

Maybe not.

The barge falls under the New York City Department of Corrections and is part of the vast Rikers Island jail complex, the world’s largest penal colony. The prison barge was built in New Orleans for $161 million and brought to New York in 1992 to reduce overcrowding on the island’s land-bound buildings. Since the jail is not permanently moored to the shore, Coast Guard regulations require that she have 3 maritime crew on board at all time, including a mate, an engineer and an oiler.
