Inis Lovely signed Debbie: Say No To CCA! 2012-04-07 10:44:19 -0700In the mid 90s, we had a misguided friend go to prison on a drug charge. That’s how we learned just how big a racket the prison business is. They gouge inmates for everything from toothpaste to room and board. How many Americans know that inmates are charged room and board on top of what tax payers are gouged?
When he went to jail, our friend had outstanding student loans. The interest on those loans compounded while he was unable to work. By the time he got out, the penalties and interest were 5 times the original loan amount.
Our friend did his time, paid his debt to society and was released years ago — with a financial debt he’ll never be able to pay off in his lifetime. I’m sure this is the case for most ex-cons.
Corporations who run prisons for profit need to be investigated, and not be given MORE captive customers.Debbie: Say No To CCA!
Why is FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz siding with the Corrections Corporation of America and not her constituents in Southwest Ranches? 98% of her constituents DO NOT want a new for-profit immigrant detention center!
Add signatureIMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE
We call on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-20) to WITHDRAW her current endorsements for CCA’s project.
The Obama Administration announced a change in the priorities for detentions and deportations, to focus on real national security concerns, not on separating parents from their children or deporting DREAMers who are only seeking a better future.
It is time for ICE to stop the immigrant money making machine and tell CCA to GO AWAY from Southwest Ranches.THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED - WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!! But feel free to leave your comment!
