Recently the Federal Government has announced it will be phasing out contracts with Private Prisons - it's time for California to follow suit. Private Prisons have a notorious reputation for ignoring prisoner rights, cutting corners, corruption, and even implementing modern slavery. Corrections and Rehabilitation should be a responsibility of the State, as Criminal Justice does not end after sentencing. It should be considered a moral outrage that the Government of California would shirk its responsibility and contract to Private Prison firms who's existence literally depends on crime and recidivism; these companies only seek profit, not the betterment of Californian society.

Please sign this petition telling Governor Brown, Secretary of the CDCR Scott Kernan and Assistant of Legislative Affairs Kristoffer Applegate to end the immoral institution of Private Prisons in California.
