Privatization of Punishment

For my Social Justice class my project was to make a video on an issue that displays social injustice. This issue is prevelent all of the world, not just the United States. The video is basically a slide show with inserts from here to there. Please watch the entire video before you decide to comment. Thank you for watching!

I hate to tell all of you haters this but the video is pretty much spot on. I worked for CCA for ten years at local and corporate levels. I saw inmates beaten, spanked and sprayed at close range for sport. Many of the staff would not be fit to watch your pets. It is a Texas based correctional philosophy. We treat many inmates more like cattle than people. The fact is that our system does not work. We are locking people up for profit, most of them will return to society.

Everything in this video is SO true!

Mina de ouro para os empresários, só que aqui fora os preços não baixam. Coloquem mais campos de concentração. Esse é o propósito de vocês, pagar menos salários, mas ter lucros astronômicos. Futuro do emprego é isso ?

Lei marcial nos EUA, é aprovada e agora qualquer cidadão pode ser preso sem acusação e direito de defesa. Prisão privada é aonde as empresas americanas gostam de investir, pois os presidiários são pagos com salários ínfimos e dão lucros exorbitantes. Do jeito que a coisa está, não demorará muito para à China e outros países fazerem o mesmo. Será esse o futuro do emprego no mundo. Está desempregado ? Quer trabalhar ? Vá para a prisão. Meu Deus, que mundo é esse.

too much police stuff

[pugdogy]

there is a way to avoid all of this, don't do drugs and don't break the law; folks who are law abiding citizens do not want to be around those who choose to break the law and conduct themselves in an uncivilized fashion;

As a group, as a subpopulation, nobody anywhere is more fundamentally twisted, sadistic, uneducated and disingenuously motivated than your typical U.S. "correctional" worker. They choose this work for a reason - it affords them an opportunity to release their sadistic energy under the cover of law. They just never counted on all those darn surveillance cameras catching them in action.
