Don’t Penalize Private Prisons for Scourge of Mass Incarceration

TO GO WITH Pakistan-crime-homosexuality,FOCUS by Issam AHMED This photo taken on April 27, 2014 shows a handcuffed Pakistani suspect in connection with the murders of three homosexual men, standing in a lockup at a police station in Lahore. Short in stature and softly spoken, Pakistani paramedic was probably destined for a life of relative anonymity - until he began killing gay men he met online. The 28-year-old father-of-two was arrested last week and confessed to three brutal murders, saying he wanted to send out a message about the "evils" of homosexuality, though police insist he had sex with his victims first.
