US Justice Department to end use of private prisons.

How about using your head. Have you ever worked a job where their were unwritten rules? Think the police don't have the same type of thing going on?
Good examples if not exactly word for word

What do you think happens to police stations that don't arrest and ticket enough people?

Sure it may be "illegal" in some states, but to say quotas aren't enforced is like saying the 16 year old kid at mcdonalds isnt trained to upsell u everything they want u to. Their performance is graded on it. Hell cashiers at walmarts and other stores are graded on their upselling and customer participation of buying their useless insurance plans for electronics. Stop being naive.

Regardless if it's illegal or not, quotas are always being imposed, goals always being pushed to employees. Police arrests and ticket issuing are no different

So still no proof? Just a couple of articles that have the word quotas in them followed by some nonsense about McDonald all which have nothing to do with the OP as speeding tickets aren't punishable with prisin time.

Private prison stocks were down 40% after the DOJ announcement.

Let this be yet another word of caution for those who view privatization as a panacea for any given industry.

Private prisons run by major corporations. We aren't talking about a mom and pop company here. You think government can do it better? With the trillions they have wasted? You people talk about the military wasting money and the military is run by the...wait for it...wait for it...government.
BIG BROTHER GOVERNMENT is not the answer comrade. Sorry.

Prison never should have been a for-profit enterprise. There is something incredibly sick and wrong about making a profit off of the incarceration and suffering of others.

These aren't good people. It is prison. Suffering is part of being in prison because you committed a crime. You know...murder, rape...etc.

Wouldn't hold my breath on that score, but you never know.

I would. Hillary is a crook and much like the Brexit we are going to surprise the neo-nazi left this Nov.

This is common knowledge. If you need proof of common knowledge, that's on you. Believe whatever you want, none of us care.

16 federal prisons. Still a LOT of state & county for profit prisons.

I'm happy, when prison population doesn't change then I will like to see people blame something else.
