Prisons for sale

[HelenWheels]

Gov. Kasich in Ohio is going to sell 5 prisons to private companies. The current workers MAY be rehired but at a significantly lower wage and with no health care insurance. I'll just bet Walky Talky will do the same thing. I hope the Republicrat Correctional Officers will see this and wake up for the next election.

1. There have been quite a few

corrections officers at the protests. Not only are their jobs at risk, but they're the ones who have to deal with inmates who are incredibly pissed off because they're losing their early release programs.

I'm still trying to figure out how this is all so good for Wisconsin, as Walker says... :eyes:

2. Housing and feeding inmates for extra years

will certainly help solve the budget shortfall. Just thought of this too--with privatized prisons we can look forward to judges being bribed to send innocent people there so as to increase the population, as was uncovered in Pennsylvania.

3. The Corrections officers

seemed to know this at the rallies last week. I don't know about selling the prisons but they certainly claimed to know the name of a private security agency that Walker was alleged to be in league with.
