Attorney John Dacey will be heading up this case and has written an article on why private prisons are unconstitutional. Why hasn't this been challenged before?

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that the public is finally waking up to the danger of profit in our justice system. The fight ahead looks brutal and long but we are not backing down now.

Private Prisons lead to violence escapes and drugs inside the Prisons/Jails. This leads to lawsuits which is passed on to the taxpayer raising taxes
To profit from the imprisonment of our citizens seems profoundly unconstitutional!
marketizing prisons creates a demand for prisoners that government will try to meet
This is long over due. They put profits above everything else. Above public safety, staff safety, inmate safety and rehabilitation.
Corp prisons are a scam. taxpayers get the bill and the companies pocket the cash while safety goes down the drain. shut them all down
I'm an officer for the state of Georgia
Thank you for your commitment to this cause.
