GEO Group Wikipedia Page Controversy Erased After Football Stadium Naming Deal

I thought the idea of the penal code and system were to have the criminal repay their debt to society and re-amend their social contracts and moral standing. I find the for profit prisons system rob society of their repayment and rightful repentance of the criminal. In turn diminishes the "criminal" to property of the state to be sold as a commodity to the market(is this sounding familiar?). Now we have outsourced and privatized criminal deterrence to the highest bidder because we were afraid of a big government and big brother. The two have nothing to do with the other, but we were told that they were one and the same One has been bought by the other, diminished returns on revenue create desperate decisions. Private interests write our laws, execute our public services, finance our politics (a candidate needs corporate sponsors, like NASCAR, to run the track), and define our lifestyles. That's cool, but there is a consequence to this and a prison company (that sounds so moronic and fascist) naming a university stadium is nothing but a consequence of immediacy, side effect of free-market capitalism.

Hunger Games much?



I wonder how long before there is a collapse in immigration to western nations. I think it's a real possibility considering that once word gets out that Private companies are making money by incarceration and forced labor, many without so much as a joint in the pocket. What happens when the Corp. doesn't please the stock holders? Or when Wall Street is discontent with it's performance? Or your Pension/401k company needs to replenish your funds by buying stock in this company or others like? Or your state runs our of money to incarcerate? What happens when there is another economic crisis or collapse(an there will be and always man made)? What's happens when there is a high level of dissidence in politics like the 30's, 60's and the 70's? What if? Are we comfortable to know that the United States government has outsourced your repayment (punishment) to society to a for-profit entity? Are we comfortable with their possible lobby in our politics?

Florida Atlantic Football Stadium Will Be Named For Private Prison Company

Why is this a surprise? It's like being surprise to find a sex worker buying condoms. This is par for the course. Remember the phrase corporate america? The United States is is ruled by free market capitalists. We were lied into wars, founded and funded by slavery, genocide, and war profiteering. Fooled you all that government is the problem- when the government is "of, by and for the people"- you're the government.You're the problem, they're saying. So now the government is privatizing everything, outsourcing our legislature, presidency, and soon our judicial system. No longer with there be the law of the land, it will be law of Wall Street and corporate interest (if not already).

Think I'm a looney toon conspiracy theorist- there will college kids watching their teams play in a corporate prison sponsored stadium. God bless unabashed capitalism!
