Roberto Martinez-Medina died in CCA's Stewart Detention Center in Georgia in 2009. Medina had been arrested a month earlier for not having a driver's license.

CCA whistleblower Bryan Holcomb spoke with us exclusively to expose how the company repeatedly ignored Medina's pleas for care of his heart ailment while he was imprisoned. Their negligence contributed to Medina's death.

CCA profited off of Medina's incarceration, and ensured a greater profit by denying him critical health care. The inhumane conditions at CCA facilities are directly related to their obsession in cutting costs for profit.

CCA has gone to great lengths to hush Medina's death.

The stocks of these private prison corporations depend upon their human capital. What´s that other than slavery? The US has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world as a consequence.

Guess what they even begin to "compete" with labour markets and desturb the wages pricefinding severely. Unbridled application of total capitalism?

@tbaarr1: Do you get SENT TO JAIL for not buying health insurance?! No. I don't understand how you can compare that to this?!
