the prison industrial complex-the new robber barons

submitted by enoch

1 decade 1 year 4 weeks ago

Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) is the country's biggest for-profit prison company and calls human beings in lock-up a "revenue stream." Don't let them profit off imprisoning even more. http://aclu.org/CCA #prisonprofiteers

This video is part of the Prison Profiteers series produced by Brave New Foundation's Beyond Bars campaign in partnership with the ACLU and The Nation. Narration by Henry Rollins. Research help provided by Prison Legal News.

No one should profit off the bondage of others.

The disgusting thing is that these corps lobby vigorously against any lightening of criminal penalties or pot decriminalization that they think will adversely affect their "revenue stream".

Unless maybe, it's a dominatrix for hire.

Fuck, and the US complains about China's humanitarian faux pas...

Isn't the conflict of interest self evident? That's fucked up.

Conflict of interest doesn't work that way...it would be true if they made the laws rather than lobbied, but then any corporation or charity, ie., lobbies t, would be conflicting interests.

Just as China complains about us I am sure. Neither has the high ground imho.

On the real issue--this can happen because of scared old white people (And now the rising affluent scared old black people) who demand justice because they are scared fucks.

Absolutely, but China has never harboured any delusions that it is anything other than a totalitarian state, the US is the mob preaching about 'freedoms'. ; )

So while there may be no moral high ground, there are depths of hypocrisy and I think the US has fallen further.
