PROTECT OUR YOUTH FROM THE PRISON $ MACHINE

Stop the privatization of prisons from devouring our youth through certifications while providing profits to GEO, CCA, MCT and their shareholders. The governors must CEASE AND DESIST from signing these private bed fulfilment guarantees with our tax dollars.

Why is this important?

The Privatization of prisons is like pac-man for our youth. The governors of the states are entering into agreements with private corporations like GEO, CCA, MCT guaranteeing prison bed capacity payments with our tax dollars while their stockholders profit. If the beds are empty then there is the impetus, the motivation to fill them---waste not, want not, so the threshold is lowered on crimes, ages and the problem for private graft is solved!
