Comparing it to the statue of liberty is peak something.
Someone fly a fucking plane into it before it gets populated please.

Lmao these are the people shedding crocodile tears over the gulags and here they are casually fantasizing about a gulag the Soviet Union could never come up with
And most of it was actually justified. There were a lot of Tsarist sympathizers, nobility, and reactionaries that had to go. Purges in the US are just like...environmentalists saying "Maybe we shouldn't have lead in the water."
and in wicked North Korea they jail so many people they need to build skyscraper prisons to house them all.

Also Judge Dredd too since I'm pretty sure this exact thing happens in the mega city.
Judge Dredd has "isocubes", though what that actually is varies by artist. I distinctly remember one panel (from the funniest comic: the one where he arrests himself and all his friends for a petty noise violation on Christmas, sentencing them and himself to a weekend in the isocubes) showing a stack of them and they're like, clear glass boxes with a chair in them.
lmao that plotline sounds awesome. Thanks for reminding me to try and pirate all the Dredd and AD stuff I can find.
I think this was one of the earlier ones, somewhere in between the moon sheriff arc and the one where they travel across the post apocalyptic wasteland that was the US I think? Pretty sure it's before any part of the big apocalypse war arcs that start with the space voyage arc.
Judge Dredd is a weird and silly setting and it's very easy to see how it got mashed together with Dune and legally-distinct-from-LotR Warhammer to make Warhammer 40K.
When I said "I would KILL for a cheap place to live downtown," I didn't mean it literally
Biden's legacy is just going to be the 1994 crime bill, mega prisons and sundowning isn't it?
That's unfair, there's also genocide and war
Hope it gets 9/11'd the day before it's open to prisoners
Literally my first thought "gawrsh I'd like to see it shelled"
Iirc, the location is a massive fuck you to china town.

Is all the world jails and churches?
They're building a 100 meter jail because they claim to want to close rikers island, but will do nothing to improve peoples conditions in or outside of jail
didn't they make a movie about this?
Such a historic building needs a good name, something that really reflects this advancement in the infrastructure to rehabilitate people who've taken a dark turn in life, giving them a second chance with new opportunities and above all else a new hope.
But what's another word for hope? "Prospect"? And "nova" is Latin for "new".

Not a moment too soon doc, he was about to board the train to America
Trains? In America? That infrastructure is so neglected, it's like they're always departing but they never arrive...
