I know what you mean. I've got highly urbanized progressive friends who like to gripe about the way small towns and rural areas lobby to have a new prison built in their area rather than somebody else's. Few if any of them have ever seen the kind of economic depression a place has to sink into before having a medium-security federal penitentiary come to your neighborhood starts sounding like a good idea.
