Document Summary

How the fast food economy is spilling into other parts. Shows how thats being used for punishment. The fastest way, the best way to get from point a to point b. More and more people through the system as quickly as possible; less individual circumstances into account, just want to move you through and punish you as quickly as possible. Often in terms of sending them to prison. Emphasizing the quantity of the products sold, time it takes, how many. For mcdonalds the quantity ensures the quality (99 million served, therefore it must be good) The assumption: the more people in prison, the better the job we"re doing, the longer in time the better. Expectations - you know what to expect, from one time and place to another. Doesn"t matter what mcdonalds you go into, you generally know the cost, the menu, and what to expect.
