Rachel is going to tear Brewer a new one

[malaise]

on her private prison escape. Go Rachel!!

[Iggo]

1. Brewer's gonna be on Maddow's show?

[Xipe Totec]

2. Not the brightest butter knife in the drawer is she. nt

[malaise]

4. No - she's exposing the private prison company

Management Training Corporation and McCotter - link to Ashcroft and Iraq. OMFG!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. So we had the escape in a PRIVATE prison?

How classic!!! Trust for profit outfits to do essential jobs WELL.

Yep, that's the ticket!!!!

:sarcasm:

[malaise]

5. Great expose

Bravo Rachel!!! Brewer wanted to privatize all the prisons in Arizona.

Must see TV.

[Xipe Totec]

7. The high security prisons are reserved for hardened lettuce pickers nt

[malaise]

9. No - the plan was for the Federal detainees

to be housed in these private prisons.

Go Rachel - this is HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[malaise]

13. The Private prisons in Arizona are collecting $11M a month

from ICE - imagine the profits when they can pick up any brown person - free labor and money from ICE

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. This is sick actually

[malaise]

15. dupe

from ICE - imagine the profits when they can pick up any brown person - free labor and money from ICE

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

6. Rachel should be news director at msnbc

Why should i wait until 9pm to get the real stories.

[malaise]

8. The for profit prisons are all linked

to Brewer's Bill. WTFFFFFFF!!!!
Two of her advisors are linked to CCA. WOW!!!

[tridim]

12. Is there a link or a thread on this issue. It's the first I'm hearing of it.

My jaw on the floor. This is Enron level corruption, plus racism for profit.

[malaise]

19. We've had some threads

since the breakout.
It's one more reason to stop the RETHUGS in November - this shit is going on all over the US.

[tridim]

22. Thanks, I'll do a search. "Greatest" is completely useless this week.

[Canuckistanian]

28. This actually came out about a month ago

Everyone in her "private circle" is a lobbyist for the prison industry.

Follow the money and you've found the rationale for a Republican cause.

[Parker CA]

10. Seriously. She leads with the hardest hitting stories night after night after night.

[jillan]

18. She's the only one that reports any news - all the other shows are just the same story all day long.

[Tx4obama]

11. Here's a DU video link regarding Brewer and the prisons - from last month .

[malaise]

17. Thanks

:hi:

[pinboy3niner]

21. Beat me to it

AFTER I went to the trouble of finding your original Political Videos OP, and was all set to post it, LOL.

[Tx4obama]

30. Thank you for the effort :)

I'm sorta surprised that it took MSNBC so long to finally cover the story!
Seems like Brewer's opponent would have been pushing it.

[jillan]

14. I just started another thread...

Oh well - this deserves duplicate threads.

I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel I love Rachel

[malaise]

24. Super program

as usual

[Hello_Kitty]

20. It was awesome! eom

[pinboy3niner]

29. Also awesome was Rachel featuring the KPHO-TV reporter who broke the story

She is very good at giving credit where due, and her featuring KPHO-TV's Morgan Loew, the reporter who did the investigating and broke this story, is consistent for Rachel. And awesome.

[malaise]

31. People who are secure always give others credit

Rachel is a class act - a freaking pro.

[golddigger]

23. The corruption in America is mind-numbing.

I am physically sick.

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. And historically this is nothing

we have ways to go before we reach the levels of the Guilded Age, which led to the Tea Pot Scandal...

That is scary...

[pinboy3niner]

25. This is one reason why Arpaio locks them up, instead of sending them to ICE

Sending immigration violators to ICE for deportation would be cheaper for AZ, but Sheriff Joe prefers to have them incarcerated in AZ.

[malaise]

27. Bet he's a shareholder of the private prisons

The Dems should call them on it

[pinboy3niner]

32. I wonder if Morgan Loew has explored that possibility

Although Arpaio gets enough gratification for his sadistic streak that I doubt he'd need financial motivation.

[Hello_Kitty]

33. Actually, sending them to ICE benefits Brewer's private prison cronies.

They get held in privately-run detention centers while awaiting deportation.

[pinboy3niner]

34. Yes, but only a small benefit

Space is limited, so only those who also are charged with serious crimes are detained. The rest (those who do not agree to voluntary deportation) are released pending immigration hearings. Those hearings are currently backlogged for at least five years, and those released are entitled to legal status in the interim. They can even obtain green cards and work legally.

And that really bugs Arpaio, and it's the other reason he doesn't want to turn them over.

[Hello_Kitty]

35. The Feds have contracted with private prisons to expand the number of spaces

The nation's largest private prison company has partnered with the federal government to detain close to 1 million undocumented people in the past 5 years until they are deported. In the process, Corrections Corporation of America has made record profits. Critics suggest the CCA cuts corners on its detention contracts in order to increase its revenue at expense of humane conditions. Thanks to political connections and lobby spending, it dominates the industry of immigrant detention. CCA now has close to 10,000 new beds under development in anticipation of continued demand.

36. Ding ding

We have a winner

[pinboy3niner]

38. That's true--things will only get worse as more space opens

Thanks for the link, btw.

Ed. to add: That will hand Joe a real quandary--hand them over for private prison profit, or get to persecute, I mean prosecute them in Maricopa and enjoy seeing them suffer in Tent City?

[political_Dem]

37. Lord, I hope so. Brewer needs an ass tearing after all the mayhem she's unleashed.

I just hope that the message of her corruption continues to reach others far and wide. We can't afford to have people like her in power.

[pinboy3niner]

40. Oh noes!1! If we lose her, who will keep us from joining all the headless bodies in the desert?!1!1

:sarcasm:

[Joanne98]

39. We need Congressional hearings on this.

[jillan]

41. Yes - and before the November election.
