Federal and State governments in America have had a long history of relying on Private Organizations to house inmates. Private prisons are a disease that is slowly killing American citizens and unless a vaccine is created, society will welter to its power. Private prisons in America imprison American citizens for profit. This is heavily seen in the South but is evident across America. With private organizations using forced labor and imprisonment for personal gain one cannot help but compare it to American slavery on Africans. The Corrections Corporation of America is the largest organization involved with the privatization of prisons in America. With corporations like the CCA in power, more innocent people will be affected by the strong hold of private organizations.
The video on the link above shows you what the CCA would like you to believe is going on in their correctional prisons. However, narratives such as Prison Inc. written by K.C Carceral shine the dark light on Private prisons. Unlike what CCA tries to demonstrate in their video Carceral gives you an inside look at the dangers of living in these private prisons.
Private prisons need to be abolished in America and our government needs to take a greater look at how we are selling our own citizens off like cheap cattle. In the land of the FREE and home of the brave, no man should be punished for the finical benefit of another person or group.
