School Corporation Buys 99 Acres of Land for Planned Re-Education Camp

Flush with cash from a successful business venture selling cheaply made USB flash storage drives on Amazon.com, the Alamanda School Corporation purchased 99 acres of farmland near its North View High School facility for $2M. In a press release, the corporation stated its intention to build a state of the art re-education camp to compete for federal detention facility contracts. In a later press conference on the planned use of the land, Superintendent Lesly Miles stated, “Our status as a public school system with top-rated schools demonstrates our ability to take on the challenge of re-educating political prisoners as well as those that committed lesser crimes, such as prostitution, distribution of illegal drugs, theft, and the inability to pay gambling debts.” When asked whether hard labor would be included in the re-education curriculum, the superintendent eagerly indicated that the facility would provide hard labor activities based on the student’s sentencing handed down by a judge, police, or government official. The facility will provide employment for 223 full-time guard staff and ten part-time teachers. Supporters of the new re-education camp lined the street near the planned facility, holding signs and placards showing their support for the school corporation and the superintendent. Sheriff D.T. Brown was ebullient in his comments, asking the superintendent for an accelerated timeline so that he could quickly send over his growing accumulation of “dirty hippies”. Mayor Sam Smith also showed interest in placing some key political opponents in the facility before the mayoral election in two years.
