California to end its use of private, for-profit prisons

Nailing high rent, greedy PG&E and now this all in one week!

Now if something could be done to prevent an electric company with aging infrastructure from shutting power off to one of the largest economies in the world, that would be great.

California - 5th or 6th in global economy depending on your source.
As opposed to all the "red" federal welfare states.
First in environmental issues and social justice...

Now I just pray the orange monster doesn't find a way to eff it up in his war against California.

What a terrible thing to promote.

California on Friday banned private prisons and immigrant detention centres under a bill signed by the liberal state's governor.

The measure stipulates that beginning next year, the state's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is prohibited from entering into or renewing a contract with a private, for-profit prison to incarcerate people.

The bill also calls for such facilities to be phased out by 2028.

. . .

California lawmaker Rob Bonta, who authored the bill, described the signing as "a truly historic moment for California."

"By ending the use of for-profit, private prisons and detention facilities, we are sending a powerful message that we vehemently oppose the practice of profiteering off the backs of Californians in custody, that we will stand up for the health, safety and welfare of our people, and that we are committed to humane treatment for all," he told a news conference.
