FSRN Special Documentary: The Private Prison Industry in America
Today;
Free Speech Radio News Special Documentary
The Private Prison Industry is currently the largest and
continually expanding industry in the United States. In addition
to local and state governments, a large number of corporations
and individuals profit from the industry. While historically
African Americans, and more recently, Latinos, have provided
cheap labor for prisons, in the last couple of years the target
has become various immigrant groups. The Department of Justice,
more than ever influenced by a free market economy, has allowed
the enactments of laws that allow the mass roundups of immigrants.
The Anti-terrorist Act of 1996, singed by president Clinton,
was followed by Bush's enactment of the Patriot Act of 2001
after the 9/11 tragedy. FSRN's Simba Russeau brings us this
special documentary "The Private Prison Industry in America
Today", the voices of African Americans, Latinos and
various immigrants who have fallen victim to the present day
market of prison profits and cheap labor.
