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!

    No prison should be for profit—for extremely obvious reasons.

    Just check out the number of lawsuits filed against private prison operators (that’s the tip of the iceberg). Just go ahead and name it “Abu Ghraib West”.


    You’re willing to pay a security guard $200 a day to imprison an infant?


    This country has gone crazy.

    We do not want for profit prisons for the simple reason that Corporations prime reason for existing is to make a profit. As we have seen very recently that corporations need to make a profit for their stockholders, but it almost always turns out very bad for the people. The prison would have to keep the beds filled in order to make a profit, and will pay people to make sure that they have that quota filled. Case in point: Pennsylvania Juvenile court Judge sentenced to 28 years for sending kids to for profit prisons from 2003 to 2008 for taking Payments from the private detention centers, 4,000 cases involved! 4,000 kids making money for someone! Are we now going to be a country that lets Investors Make money from someone else’s misery, be it immigrants, drug violators or kids?
