Abolish Private Prisons

THIS PETITION SEEKS TO ABOLISH ALL PRIVATE PRISONS IN THE UNITED STATES.We want the United States Congress to immediately rescind all state and federal contracts that permit private prisons for profit to exist in the United States, or any place subject to its jurisdiction. We understand that the problems that currently plague our government, its criminal justice system and in particular, the state & federal bureau of prisons (and most correctional and rehabilitation facilities) are massive. However, it is our solemn belief that the solutions for prison reform whatever they are will remain unattainable and virtually impossible as long as private prisons for profit are permitted to operate in America.
