Bill Introduced to End Privatization of Federal Prisons

Bill Introduced to End Privatization of Federal Prisons: “Among the very few functions that we should insist is done by the state, it should be imprisoning other human beings. . . . It is the ultimate exercise of authority by the state to say you have violated our laws and we are now going to punish you by imprisoning you, and it should be the state that in fact, then, imprisons people.” I hope the ACLU offers an action alert on this issue. The Prison Activist Resource Center has more information.
