Occupy the Prison-Industrial Complex

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. One private prison advertises to investors that it will maintain a 90% occupancy rate.

Everyone should be aware of this monstrosity, of for-profit prisons, and indeed, the existing PIC. SoCal Occupy has joined other organizations in protesting conditions in the SHU (solitary housing unit), and to support hunger strikes and to end the conditions in general. Of using illegal immigrants as slave labor at less than $1 a day (while prison telephones can cost $5.00 a minute and more). I know this is more than local. I have heard stories of "the two-minute crew", groups of guards who enter a cell and see how much damage they can do to an inmate in two minutes...while one prison managed to help some 88 prisoners to vote in this election.

It is worth noting that Wells Fargo are among the largest investors in prison privatisation companies.

Thank you for posting this. All power to all people!
