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!

    Privatization is driving up the cost of prisons. Why do we now have 10 times the rate of incarceration of other democracies?


    It’s time to investigate this.

    Private prisons ensure more prisoners. Let’s do judicial reform instead!

    Beware the law enforcement/correctional facilities industrial complex. Just like when President Eisenhower spoke against the military industrial complex. For profit correctional corporations are driving their agenda of more prisons when more and more set empty.

    Debbie I am very disappointed on your decision to support CCA. You know what happens when big business runs things like this it becomes a business. This so easily prone to corruption and greed we’ll be putting more people in jail because the share holders bottom line is ALWAYS more profit. Please do not side with these people if you do I promise you I will lose total faith in you. You have always portrayed yourself as doing the right thing so do it!

    NO PRIVATE CORPORATE PRISONS - PERIOD!!! Prisons should be in the public sector, where there are no monetary incentives to incarcerate people. Not a deportation center – Not a state prison — Not a Federal Prison. Get private business out of prisons. PLEASE and now.

    Incarceration should be a last resort provided by the government, not a business opportunity actively seeking more inmates to turn a bigger profit.

    ICE makes my blood run cold. We need schools and libraries, not private prisons. Listen to your constituents, and if you have one, your heart.
