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 Corrections is an oxymoron. They are in business which puts them diametricly opposed to Corrections. It is not like someone with a passion for Corrections wants to start a business. It is business people looking for sources of profit. That is their focus, their number one priority. This must be reversed. Their number one priority must be excellence in Corrections; a drive to lessen the population; a drive for reform and care. This is about money, money, money.


    The Corrections industry is going backwards in time. Prisons are over populated. Reform is a last priority only to get dollars to increase profit.

    Confinement for cash is immoral. It should be illegal.

    Some things shouldn’t be privatized. Prisons are in that category.

    Privatization means profit motive means no incentive to reduce prison population!!! It’s a no brainer. Please don’t subscribe to the Republican mantra of “market place” as it is not a “perfect place”.

    I thought you were representing us, your constituents who elected you, not private prisons where there is much more profilt but much more abuse which has been demonstrated?
