for truth

today. Thanks for posting this. Companies with no "skin in the game" for reducing the causes of crime, who are the seed to the evolution of slavery.

Correctional Corporation of America. They claim to be the worlds largest, private prison industrial complex.
They originated in Nashville, Tn. about 30 years ago. They are a publicly traded company. I suspect that the majority of their stockholders are judges, prosecutors, police pension funds, etc..
In Clarksville, Tn., everyone found guilty of a "crime" (this term is used very loosely), is put on probation for one year in addition to their jail time/ fine or in lieu of jail time.
The ONLY way to avoid "active" probation (weekly urine tests and payments) is TO PAY, in advance, all of the fees associated
with the CCA probation and all fines, including court costs, that are levied against you. When paid in advance, a person does not have to attend weekly "meetings" (urine tests) with their probation officer. They must stay out of legal trouble or they will be "violated", charged with contempt, charged more money and, of course, their probation time will be increased. Once you are in "the system", you discover that it becomes a vicious, for their profit, circle.
Only if you can afford to pay the imposed fines, court costs and probation fees at the time of your sentencing can you hope to avoid
the revolving, for profit door, of this "legal system."
This is very public knowledge here and most "clients" will do/sale almost anything to avoid being an "active client" in this legalized scam.

Pay up, or we will ruin your life.

ruin countless lives/ families.
I had to leave this area (thank God I did) about 25 years ago because I was stuck in this revolving door racket.
They lied and did everything possible to "violate their clients."
I worked 15 hour days and spent a year of weekends in ail. As soon as I was released from jail, I packed up and moved. I did not wait one day.

Surrounded by corruption it eats away at integrity and those in collusion have an extra shield of protection. Who is going to prosecute them?

Student Loan collections? (I am joking, but maybe only half.)

Alternet.org is on fire today! Great info. Thanks for the OP, xchrom!

Ask around. We all know someone who is being ripped off by one or more of these criminals. So much for privatizing.

I'm going after two of our district judges this fall. They're in it up to their lying lips.

SERCO seems to be global in its reach. Managing everything from immigration services and health care to parking meters and prisons. It is possible that the advisory arm of a company will be hired to provide a report and analysis of a service for which another arm of the company will be contracted to provide the solutions suggested in the report. The report they produce may then be employed as justification of the shift to privatized services. It isn't enough to look at the small interface companies, we need to understand that this is a global strategy with remarkable economic power invited in the supplanting of public service with private management of services behind a veil of secrecy (as they are not often subject to public transparency requirements) and are committed more to profitability than the betterment of society.
