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!

    For-profit prisons are just wrong. So are immigration policies and practices that lead to large numbers of detainees. Like others, I am surprised, as I have considered Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz progressive.

    Whoa Rep. Schultz, are you out of your mind? The private prison industry is the modern day slave market. That entire industry is bad for our country, bad for democracy, and bad for America. Take your hands out of their pockets. Their political influence must be regulated so that we can have a free society.

    Rep. Wasserman Schulz. For profit incarceration is disgusting on its face. The idea of letting private companies handle the punishment of those who violate our society’s rules is downright scary.

    These private, for profit, prisons are horrific…they are paid based on the number of prisoners they “serve”. They answer to NO ONE, have no oversight, sexual and other abuses thrive there. People are held for long periods with no formal charges, no length of time to “serve”, families are detained. They are something we used to hear about only in places like Russia and East Germany. They are NOT anything the Democratic Party wants anything to do with and they should be done away with as soon as possible.

    Further, I will have nothing to do with the DNC as long as this connection to private prisons remains, and will spread this info as far as I am able.

    Prisons are not the answer, private prisons are the problem. If we let this happen , it will not be safe to spit on the sidewalk because private prisons have to keep the prisons full, so you will be next!

    For profit prisons are just wrong in the first place.
