Correction Corporation of America's Stewart facility in Lumpkin, Georgia is the largest private detention center in the nation. Stewart currently profits close to $50 million a year. As if that weren't enough, CCA often cuts costs by denying basic services to its inmates and by limiting access to their family members.
CCA charges inmates close to $5 a minute to make a phone call. To pay for this, inmates work in the facility and earn a whopping $1 a day. Five days of hard work gives them just enough time for a one minute phone call.
Watch the video and take action to shut down Stewart Detention Center. CCA's greed knows no boundaries. In the past few years they have spent $14.8 million lobbying for anti-immigration laws, like HB87 in Georgia, to ensure they have continuous access to fresh inmates and keep their money racket going. It's time to put an end to it.
This is why on November 18th, Brave New Foundation's Cuéntame is partnering with a coalition of immigrant and civil rights organizations, in a powerful vigil and occupation outside the Stewart facility in Georgia. The demand: Shut down Stewart Detention Center now.
You can join-in too online! Add your demand message and we will read and deliver it at the action event!
Your voice is the most important tool we need to fight back against the private prison greed and abuse. Yours,
Robert Greenwald, Axel Caballero and Brave New Foundation's Cuéntame team.

CCA profited approximately $72,000 from Pedro's detention.
Guzman's wife Emily and only son Logan endured a painful and debilitating struggle to survive while they fought for Pedro's release.

Death For Profit
Roberto Martinez-Medina died in CCA's Stewart Detention Center in Georgia in 2009.
Medina had been arrested a month earlier for not having a driver's license.
CCA profited off of Medina's incarceration, and ensured a greater profit by denying him critical health care.
CCA has gone to great lengths to hush Medina's death. | |

3)The money: These corporations spend $20 million a year lobbying legislators to get anti-immigrant laws approved and thus more inmates. | | Watch the video
