For-profit companies are making a killing from our broken prison system — raking in billions from longer and harsher confinement that disproportionately locks up Black folks and immigrants.
Private prison conditions are some of the most dangerous in the country. In order to maximize profits, companies like CCA, GEO Group, and MTC cut back on staff training, medical care, and rehabilitative services, while spending millions lobbying governments to keep their prisons filled at a high cost to taxpayers and public safety.
Why is this important?
Private prison companies make billions from torture and confinement. We can stop this by holding prison companies' investors, board members, and public officials accountable.
Please join us in urging investors and board members of for-profit prison companies to get out of this exploitative business. We'll inform them of what they're involved in, and if they refuse to do what's right, we'll hold them publicly accountable.
