Private For-Profit correctional facilities do more than just gouge taxpayers, underpay their workers and put the public at risk with their sloppy practices. They lobby behind the scenes for harsh and ridiculous laws to keep U.S. prisons and jails incarceration rates, per-capita, some of the highest in the world; based on their greedy profit motives, not what is best for America. Some systems in this country need to remain exclusively in the public domain so that we have some real clarity and transparency about what our tax dollars are actually funding.

People wanting to come to this country is NOT a money making scheme! KCET & PBS shows droves of jews, irish, german, etc coming to this country with fake names but brown people with REAL names come here and are terrorized. Its not the 19th century but the 21st century is further from progress

Wasserman proves voting Democratic won’t get us out of this fascist hellhole. OCCUPY!

Debbie…


…Please, please do not open the door to privatizing Florida’s prisons…this for-profit scheme of Rick Scott’s to turn the state’s big prisons over to CCA and/or other private prison operators now is underway with consolidation of prisoners in the larger facilities…when complete I believe Scott and his henchmen will begin selling the prisons – campuses and inmates alike – to highest bidders…this amounts to nothing less than selling captive human beings for profit…shades of 1840 in the South…

…Scott has shown himself repeatedly to be an individual devoid of standards, ethics, integrity…our best hope of saving the State of Florida – my native state – from the destruction he seeks to lay on us is to get rid of him and his ilk with which he has populated the administration in the next election…

,,,Meanwhile, we depend on elected representatives such as you to hold the line against the bad judgment, greed and corruption…and keeping the state’s prison under a cleaned-out DOC is a great addition to the effort…you stop the privatization garbage and we’ll clean the garbage out of DOC…

…The rehabilitated futures of thousands of prisoners are at stake…ask us in Hillsborough County and we’ll prove it to you.

the government uses tax money to subsidize private companies for warehousing immigrants??!! – when will the funeral services be conducted for Lady Libety?

Making money holding people in jail! BAD IDEA!!

This is a surprise that Debbie should approve of this. Please rethink your position on this issue. Prisons for profit is an evil idea.

This is a great example of why a lot of people do not see a lot of difference between the two parties
