We don’t need to create another rich lobby whose interests are inhumane. (We’ve got enough of a monster in the military-industrial complex!) Immigrants add to America’s economy. They work hard for low wages and the U.S. didn’t have to spend money to raise and educate them – they arrived as adults. It’s no coincidence that 8 years after the federal immigration law cut immigration down to a trickle, we had the worst depression in America’s history.

For-profit prisons skimp on medical care, food, and other basic necessities. Then taxpayers have to pick up the slack when prisoners are released.

America already imprisons a higher % of its population than ANY OTHER COUNTRY. This is sad; it’s also VERY EXPENSIVE! But CCA and other corporations are making a bundle. And they want MORE OF MY MONEY AND YOURS. They will never stop. We should get rid of them all. Government prisons were not great, but at least they didn’t have powerful incentives to incarcerate everybody in sight. We are selling our souls to the devil!

No Corp crape!

Have we not learned that corporate prisons exist to increase THEIR profits? This will likely cost more than it will save, and have no lessons been learned from the uprisings in Australia and the horrible accounts of torture and inhumane treatment of ‘prisoners’?

Private prisons should be illegal. Depriving someone of their liberty is too important to outsource; only an officer of the court should be able to do that. Limited liability corporations are not sufficiently responsible for this task.

CCA represents a truly destructive force in our politics and a threat to freedom. Cut them loose.

Are the Koch brothers controlling you, or are you just as incompetent and racist as the cops? You don’t seem to have the decency to be ashamed of destroying people’s lives for greed.
