I am an American Expatriot and Phoenix Central High graduate, having left in 1974. I didn’t know at the time that I’d be as glad as I am to have left.

Jails form part of the Criminal Justice System. In the USA, Water, the Money Supply, Waging War, the Electoral and Legislative Process and The Penal System have all been privatized (or controlled by corporate interests), with predictable results.

America’s middle class as become the goose that layed golden eggs but was killed for what the killer thought was inside.

The Florida state senate vetoed the bill for GEO Corp. to “take-over” their state prisons. Arizona should veto the CCA “take-over” as well!

URGENT! As you may have heard, Corrections Corporation of America sent a letter to 48 US Governors offering to buy their state’s prisons. CCA offered to manage those prisons for 20 years…if the state promises to keep them 90% full. Here is a link to an article about the letter:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/14/private-prisons-buying-state-prisons_n_1272143.html

CCA is one of five private, for-profit prison corporations currently bidding for a contract to build and manage 2,000 new private prison beds here in the state of Arizona. Arizona does not need and cannot afford these beds. Our state is barely digging out of the recession hole and income projections are not looking as rosy as originally thought. But our prison population is declining for the first time in decades, so the $17 million expenditure is totally unnecessary.

The United Methodists and other faith groups have organized a call-in day to governors across the country TODAY. Here is a link with information: http://action.umc-gbcs.org/content_item/prisoncall-in.

PLEASE CALL GOVERNOR BREWER TODAY and tell her NO MORE PRIVATE PRISONS!
· Say no to CCA’s obscene offer to buy AZ’s prisons
· Cancel the RFP for 2,000 beds and do not sign contracts for any more private prisons

The in-state toll free number for Gov Brewer is: 1-800-253-0883.
For those in Phoenix, it is 602-542-4331.
For those of you in Tucson, you can call her Tucson office, 520.628-6580
