No more Prisons for Profit

Privatizing prisons creates strong incentives to shape the justice system in ways that increase arrests, convictions, and sentences. We have seen ALEC engage in this type of activity and a judge in Arizona was convicted of taking bribes to alter the sentences he gave. Prisons should not be privatized!!!

Why is this important?
