Anonymous Takes Down Corporate Prison Website

I always thought there was something very unseemly about private companies running prisons - to make money from incarceration.We don't have it in the UK,but it has been mooted.

 

...Wackenhut corrections. lol

Take them criminals out back to the Wacken' hut...:bobby:

Thanks for the post Skip :2thumbsup:

 

Why don't you post the wiki-leaks stratfor release? That is more important than the illegal act of defacing a website for the lulz

 

The oligarchy in this forum should be used to enlighten people. I post stuff and it gets little to no views, let alone replies. Use your power for good #Lulz

 

Corporations exist to make money . So it's in their best interest to keep these prisons for profit filled to capacity . It's a breeding ground for corruption and injustice . And longer and longer non violent prison sentences . Remember the cash for kids debacle , in which two Pennsylvania judges were accused of getting kickbacks from privatley owned juvenile correction facilities to send kids there ? It should be a clear warning of where "privatization" leads .

 

Another part of this that hasn't been mentioned yet. These corporations will have a built in growth plan, so these prisons will continue to get larger and larger over time, not because there are more prisoners, but because profits dictate growth is mandatory. So keeping a 90% full status on an ever growing prison model will have people doing ten years for j-walking eventually... Gotta keep those investors happy at all costs.

 

The whole prison industrial complex is disgusting, nothing short of modern day slavery. Prisoners are payed 10 cents an hour to make products that private companies can sell on the open market as away to compete with China and other counties industry has moved to. Making license plates for the state your imprisoned in is one thing and can be seen as a way of paying back to society for your crimes, and the money that taxpayers spend to feed and house a prisoner. But paying them slave wages to produce goods for a privately owned company that then sells the goods to corporations like walmart for huge profit is illegal unless you have the right lobbyist in your pocket. The war on drugs ensures a steady flow of workers, kind of like what used to happen in the south when the cottons ready, get the cops out to round up some prisoners, put them on a chain gang and watch the money roll in.

shit makes me want to kill myself.

 

We just had a little talk about private prisons at the occupy education lectures. The US has the largest number of imprisioned people and spends the most money at it than any other country. A lot of people are imprisioned under what many of us see as unjust laws such as drug laws. We are putting profit over need and making people into criminals simply to make money.

 

After reading the various posts here i decided to do something i don't normally do, and that's put my 2 cents in where it might not be needed or wanted. I guess I need to vent if you don't mind? Big Brother will probably be reading this too? Who cares?

You see, i have had a nightmarish experience working in Florida State Prisons myself (not CA). I am actually an addictions counselor (ironically, who is for legalization of MJ); that cares about the people who are wrongfully committed to years of incarceration for marijuana possession.

It is my experience that the men I treated (iam sympathetic to their cause), when i detested most all of my coworkers); had been put away on their first offense for usually a minimum of 3-5 years, for trafficking (then to really lock it in, the law adds), sales & manufacturing to the charges. I met tons of intelligent, hard working dad's with wives, homes, jobs, and kids that were destroyed because someone (Feds-DEA) doesn't like it (they not making the profits)!

My point is, what Anonymous is doing is the right thing when they occupied San Quentin, and folks like Mummia are no different than all the pioneers and pilgrims that set out through history to help freedom's cause for the commoners; they are the brave who stick their neck's out. It is time that the 1% freaking percent take a back seat to the REAL folks that run this country, and find their lonely planet someplace else.

I am happy to be a part of the movement and will keep coming back until the day I die to see MJ legalized (immediately, for medically needy folks)! I have been a member of NORML for about 30 or more years now and will continue to fight always! Keep it coming Freedom FIghters!!! I luv all of u!!

 

Do You Ever Get Dizzy Standing On Such A High Soap Box....???



Cheers Glen.

EDIT:- One Minute I Was Replying To His Post, And The Next Minute

"Poof" He Went MIA....

 

for anyone who might have missed it, some nutty guy posted this giant multipage rambling rant between posts #13 & #14.

thankfully, they were deleted

 

What needs to change are laws. A lot of people who need to be in jail are not in jail, while some innocent people are incarcerated.
But just shutting down the site seems like a waste of time. I rather go door to door and inform people about these prisons and what they could do to get government to stop spending so damn much. But hey that's just me.

Criminals are starting to live a bit more comfy. Hell, some places feed their prisoners good
