Who Killed Whitey Bulger?

The Bureau of Prisons Did

I’ve written a great deal about the broken, incompetent mess that is the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), the largest and best-funded bureau in the US Department of Justice.  In just the last year, BOP officials have been prosecuted for the widespread rape of prisoners, for smuggling drugs, guns, and other contraband into prisons, for stealing federal property, and for any number of other offenses.  It happens so frequently that it generally doesn’t even make the news.
