Break the grip of special interest lobbyists and end the financial incentive for incarcerating your constituents. Support the ban on private for-profit prisons.
Why is this important?
With over 2 million inmates, the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Higher than any dictatorship, theocracy or persistent violator of human rights.
This shameful incarceration rate will never come down so long as there is profit to be made by incarcerating people. End the profit motive for incarceration. Join the fight to ban private for-profit prisons.
