Yes, that happens a lot, for example there was a time when they were giving away cars and appliances, well in reality they were selling them at a very low cost, insignificant prices and they imprisoned the people who sold those products to others for higher prices.

Which is illogical, outrageous, and funny at the same time because they have mining equipment on military bases. I don't know if you saw a news story from a few years ago where a problem occurred in a prison and it came to light that the prisoners (the pranes) had mining equipment. I want to write a post about that.
