Wednesday assorted links
1. Private prisons aren’t that big a deal.
2. How many Americans are living on $2 a day?
3. Why is Turkey sending tanks to Syria?
5. Best films of the 21st century? Mostly a good list, though as usual it is not reliable at the very top.
6. Ramen noodles are a growing medium of exchange in U.S. prisons. And there will be only one HoJo’s restaurant left, in Lake George, New York. The Bangor, Maine branch is closing.
