DOJ To Allow Private Prison Contracts To Expire After Scathing Findings Released

The private prison industry, by profiting off a socially skewed-criminal justice system, has been a real thorn in the side of many of us who actually think and vote with some empathy. Prisons by nature are prone to fostering abuse, misconduct and neglect. When you add the for-profit factor without the 'job-crushing regulations,' you have a frightening potential for horror stories, for people likely disadvantaged from the start.

Democrats often complained loudly during those midterm election years that President Obama isn't doing enough to help those most in need. Too bad, in 2010 when so many people were so disappointed that the Democratic President didn't move Heaven and Earth during those 24 total days where Congress was actually filibuster-proof Democratic.
