Comment on Why do Interstate highways exits post the nearby jail/prison/detention center?

  The typically white-on-green signs shown near US interstate exits are navigational aids, not public safety messages.

  If the local prison is on the exit, it’s just the single most notable landmark.

    yup, lot of these prisons are placed in the middle of fucking nowhere as a form of economic kickback essentially.

    local economy is non-existent so throw down a prison and bam, you got a bunch of cheap stupid employees and free slave labor for the local barons that run the county.

      Not a bot, just a guy whose been on the internet for years. Which means that, yes, I presume some people are ignorant of facts. (And that others are fucking stupid.)

      @OP posted about “exit signs”, which is not what your sign shows. Which is why I described the ones I did.

      Why did you assume that the black-on-white public safety signs like what you posted were what they meant by “exit sign”?
