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!

IMMIGRANTS 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!

    Privately owned detention and prison facilities operate for profit and it’s to their advantage to keep their facilities full. Therefore they should not be given the opportunity to make decisions or assist in decision making about who should be sent to these facilities. Many Americans are not in favor of detention centers being run or owned by private corporations since these organizations have no interest in anything but profit making at least cost. Federally owned and operated detention facilities should be restored to full function, and privately owned and operated facilities should be shut down.

    This really surprised me. It does seem like something you would support. Have you received, or have pledged to receive, monetary support from CCA. Please reverse your support of this project.


    CCA has a history of violations and inhumane treatment of prisoners. I live in Georgia and it has happened here.

    Money over human lives – a common theme amongst politicians. Makes me very sad!

    This is a dangerous thing – to privatize prisons. The only incentive is to jail people – for PROFIT. What don’t you understand?!

    WE have way too many incarcerated and separated from their families with no recourse. Putting people in jail is NOT the answer.

    Privitization creates an incentive to incarcerate. This is the very oppposite of what is needed in our system. Perhaps the Democrats need no longer be elected to exercise poor judgment.
