Newspeak of the Day

I went to visit a client at the “IAH Adult Detention Facility” (which I thought was a private jail) in Livingston, Texas today and was greeted by a sign at the front desk with a globe logo and the legend, “Community Education Centers”:

(Because someone will inevitably find this post and ask for directions to the IAH Adult Detention Facility [which is nowhere near IAH]:

IAH Secure Detention Facility

[Just SW of the corner of FM 350 and Mangum Road]
