I have seen the fruits of the privatization of our corrections departments up close and personal. Prisoners’ families are shaken down, the taxpayers are shaken down, congressmen and judges are purchased with the proceeds. In the name of “job creation” congresspersons are purchased and prisons are built; then, of course you need lots of prisoners to put into those prison, and to maximize profits, and support the bottom line of this new corporate punishment factory prisoners are not corrected nor given any serious job training or mental health counseling (to the PRODUCERS it’s not cost-effective to re-habilitate the PRODUCT).


You call yourself a Progressive, and yet you will abet the imprisoning of even MORE PEOPLE!! We are the world’s PREMIERE IMPRISONER OF PEOPLE. I am appalled and disgusted that you have been persuaded to support this boondoggle.


How about some jobs rehabilitating and counseling people instead of locking them up, at great expense, for the profits of one of the WEALTHIEST GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS IN THE WORLD!???
