For critics of the industry, their fears materialized a few months ago when CCA proposed a $250 million deal to 48 states. The company would buy state prisons and manage them if the states would guarantee a 90 percent occupancy rate.

Buntman said turning the imprisonment of people into profit leads to the over-criminalization of America and deemphasizes rehabilitation.


In the same way Planned Parenthood works to increase sales, I can see this going the same way. Why rehabilitate a prisoner when it's more profitable to have them commit crimes and keep coming back. Ka ching.

One of the most successful programs for prisoners is prison ministries. Will CCa looking at the bottom line, allow a faith based recovery? That's what concerns me most. :sad
