Petition Tag - for profit

This petition calls on the federal and state governments of the United States and worldwide to call for a halt on privatizing prisons until better democratic government oversight is established on the ones which now exist to make sure that the drive to house inmates more cheaply by privatizing prisons does not violate the prisoner's right to be treated in a fair and just manner.

Also for a re-examination of the process of prison privatization to establish the motives behind such efforts and the safety of the inmates housed in them.
