Prison Profiteers

There’s a lot of money in mass incarceration.

Powerful companies are making a fortune off locking up people for profit.  BeyondBars.org has teamed up with ACLU Nationwide and The Nation Magazine to create a series profiling these Prison Profiteers and the first video drops next week! Make sure to bookmark the site and help us put a stop to this injustice!

The options are: make sure to keep the prisons full or hit up the taxpayers' pockets. There needs to be a third option.http://www.beyondbars.org/most_private_prisons_enjoy_lock_up_quotas

How about a war on jobs?? Cheers if you oppose the War on Drugs and support the reallocation of funds toward rehabilitation programs!

The 50th anniversary of the March on Washington is quickly approaching. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream of civil rights and equality. Now, we're faced with a society plagued by mass incarceration.  It's our turn to make history. It's our turn to dream. Visit http://ourturntodream.org/

"Over four decades, American taxpayers have dished out $1 trillion on the drug war. What all that money has helped produce -- aside from unchanged drug addiction rates -- is the world's highest incarceration rate."

Regarding the “Law Enforcement Reasons”:  The people who believe that have a vested interest.  They are part of the prison-industrial complex.  There are lots of very wealthy people who got that way on the backs of marijuana smokers, and they want to keep it that way.

It's time to stop treating addiction like a crime. End the war on drugs.
