The Obama administration has aggressively EXPANDED private prisons. We cannot afford another corporate Democrat or Republican in the White House.
Consistent with the overwhelmingly corporate direction of this administration, Obama has shamefully expanded the malignant Bush agenda of attaching a profit motive to the caging of human beings. he is complicit in turning the prison system of this nation, and the justice system in impoverished communities, into an exploitative business opportunity for predatory corporations.
This is the malignancy of the corporate money that floods the halls of our government and both parties now.
It's a vicious agenda. It's the corporate agenda. And we need to unite to stop it from both parties.
Financial growth of private prison industry...Profiting from caging humans.
