When our Federal Overlords say this about private businesses: "The goal is to ultimately end the Justice Department's use of the privately operated prisons as they provide lower quality services and are less cost efficient" |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72052582 United States 08/18/2016 05:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They need to also end the use of PRIVATE ARMIES (ie: mercenaries) to do that work that the US Military should do. If it isn't a good enough fight for the US to fight directly ... then they shouldn't be doing it secretly via PRIVATE ARMIES!! |

Apparently Hillary and Donald drama is more important? They are just a public puppet for the real people making decisions,this is actually a decision and it could be game changing...

This could possibly be a step in the right direction and I don't believe our government is capable of doing the right thing. I would so love to be proven wrong in this case. |

The Old Timer User ID: 66661470 United States 08/18/2016 07:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] Quoting: Crystal*Libra The Justice Department plans to end its use of private prisons after officials concluded the facilities are both less safe and less effective at providing correctional services than those run by the government. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates announced the decision on Thursday in a memo that instructs officials to either decline to renew the contracts for private prison operators when they expire or “substantially reduce” the contracts’ scope. The goal, Yates wrote, is “reducing — and ultimately ending — our use of privately operated prisons.” This is huge. Hopefully states' will follow suit and this is the beginning of the Change this country needs And we trust the DOJ because Lets go Brandon!! What doesn't kill us...makes us more interesting Either you live for something worth dying for....or you rot away and die on the installment plan quote: Mr Bill when I post something....I will remove any post I find disrespectful or offensive..... |
