Rapist cannot escape their crimes without at least registering as a sex offender it sends the wrong message this is tolerated.

The Department of Justice announced that it is cancelling its contracts with private prison companies because of dangers and abuses outlined in exposés and a recent official government report(1). However, the majority of federal private prison contracts are actually held by the Department of Homeland Security for its sprawling immigrant detention facilities. While private prisons make up 8% of the prison population, they made up 62% of immigrant detention in 2014(2). In the wake of the Dept. of Justice announcement(3), the stock price for the main private prison companies plummeted. But they've told shareholders that immigrant detention is a stable investment and a growth industry. The Department of Homeland Security even has plans to open a NEW detention center to house transgender detainees in Texas. But all of those immigrant prisons are also dangerous and riddled with abuses. 12 people have died just at a single Corrections Corporation of America facility, the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona. Conditions there prompted a call for a Congressional investigation after a suspicious "suicide" last summer(4) and there are multiple demands for investigation into four sexual assault cases where guards are accused of abusing detainees. What is true about the findings of private prisons under the Department of Justice is true in immigrant detention under the Department of Homeland Security only at a larger scale. As long as private prisons exist, they'll just be recycled between government agencies. With the Department of Justice moving to end its contracts, private companies today will be looking for new customers and the Obama administration needs to make sure that DHS and no other government agency will be their clients. As we push for an end to immigrant detention, sign to remove the profit motive from detention. Background: 1.

The U.S. Department of Justice recently announced that it plans to reduce, and ultimately end, its use of privately operated prisons. While the Department of Justice decisions will impact 13 privately operated federal prisons, it does not affect the over 100 of privately operated prisons that the Department of Homeland Security uses to detain undocumented immigrants. This means that the Department of Homeland Security will continue to use the same private prison operators over which the Department of Justice expressed "safety and security" concerns - subjecting thousands of immigrant detainees to the inhumane conditions of prisons owned by corporations like Corrections Corporation of America, the GEO Group, and the Management and Training Corporation. Private prisons have a well documented history of abusive practices and human rights violations, which the Department of Homeland Security often disregards. What is worse, private prisons often cut critical services, programs, and resources just to maximize their profits - leaving detainees without medications or other essential needs. If we want to stop private prison corporations from abusing and profiting from the incarceration of human beings, then we need all federal agencies to end their use of private prisons. We demand that the Department of Homeland Security decline to renew its contracts with private prison corporations!

In The State Of Pennsylvania, Major George Tillery #AM9786 has been in prison over 31 years for crimes he did not commit. There was no evidence against him for the 1976 poolroom shootings that left one man dead and another wounded. Major Tillery Is Innocent. The surviving victim gave a statement to homicide detectives naming others—not Tillery or his co-defendant—as the shooters. Major wasn’t charged until 1980, he was tried in 1985. Neither witness had personal knowledge of the shooting. This is a case of gross prosecutorial misconduct and police corruption within the Philadelphia criminal justice system. Major Tillery deserves more than a new trial, he deserves dismissal of the charges against him, restoration of rights and freedom from prison.

I'm a member of a civil organization that's trying to secure justice for the wrongful killing of Ronnie Shumpert.

I like many others am a victim of electronic harassment and ganged stalking, a heinous crime which must end.

This petition was formed by an organization called HerbanRevol+ (Herban Revolt). We seek TOTAL liberation of nature from our "government". The first task is to legalize marijuana both recreationally and medicinally. We refuse to continue to allow the men and women in power to dictate the direction of our lives. Popular Sovereignty is our defense!

Pennsylvania lawmakers must toughen its laws on drunk drivers and make it harder for them to receive driver's licenses back after causing death; increase their bail in vehicular homicide cases and stronger sentencing.

I'm starting Justice for Pinky because it is doubtful the courts will treat this as a serious crime. I want this individual to be detained in order to make an example for any future offender to think twice before harming innocent animals.

Because I've been wrongfully convicted of a crime I did not commit, please go to the links, particularly the last three, when the trial began to the verdict. You will see information in the comments section at the bottom of the articles where I state that certain information was withheld from the jury therefore they could not make an informed intelligent decision. All they saw was this man who, before the trial, never used a cane, armed with his prop to elicit the jury's sympathy as a poor victim rather than the aggressor that he truly is. All of this was due to the fact that I feed a mother duck and her six babies which he didn't like. After he came at me and put his hands on my shoulders and knocked me to the ground with him on top of me and me landing on my face with a 250-+-pound man on top of me, I defended myself and got convicted for it for FELONY BATTERY ON A PERSON 65 OR OVER. Please go to the stories and read the comments--my life depends on it!!! Thank You all... You may also write me with comments directly or questions at: [email protected]

We need justice and we can't wait. In order to prevent casualties we must reform the police system. Respect for both police officers and civilians is extremely important. Let's protect civilians and those in blue! Help us reform the the police system today!

This will help improve relations between the public and law enforcement. It will also make officers aware of the communities they work in and teach them how to embrace people in those communities and not fear them.
