Day 70: Government interests

Key dates:

Group presentations: Monday, January 9th and Tuesday, January 10th.

Volunteer Presentation: Thursday, January 19th and Friday, January 20th.

13th: interesting thought about government: in the USA a look at the privatization of prison systems.  Reaping huge benefits - jailing more people.  Corporation influencing legislation.
Privatizing corrections facilities (food/phones/healthcare contracts)/probation (ex. making $ off of GPS monitors)/parole.  Inmate labour - slave labour (prison industries).
Time to end mass incarceration - how do reform the justice system?
