Billboard Alteration Salutes U.S. Military in Iraq On April 13, 2006 the California Department of Corrections (CDC) unveiled a new billboard alteration for the Department of Defense to encourage generous contributions on tax day.
The correction can be viewed at http://www.geocities.com/billboardcorrections Located at the intersection of Seventh and Folsom Streets in San Francisco, the billboard was apprehended, rehabilitated, and discharged without incident. The advertisement, which had been attempting to sell and distribute petrochemicals, was corrected to promote the U.S. Department of Defense and their private subcontractors operating in Iraq. As a private institution dedicated to protecting California from the state's most criminal advertising, the California Department of Corrections salutes the private security firms who have provided invaluable assistance to our colleagues in the U.S. military.
The advertisement is currently at liberty and it seems to have successfully readjusted to public life. However, the billboard will remain under surveillance by department staff to prevent recidivism and any potential lapse into its prior criminal behavior. The California Department of Corrections is a private institution dedicated to the protection of the public through the alteration, rehabilitation and improvement of California's most criminal advertising.
Initiated in 1994, the department is operated by individuals who feel that California's correctional facilities have been insufficiently managing the state's most criminal elements.
