This does not surprise me. Corruption is found everywhere and prisons are not exempt. Shame on governor Scott and everyone should vote to keep him out of Washington. He privatizes hospitals and prisons only with the end result being less, inadequate services.

Let’s hope (and pray for those inclined to do so) that Bill can fend off this rabid, nazi, dog! I want to vomit every time I see him wearing that Navy hat. He couldn’t cut it in the Navy so he got out after just 29 months! Maybe someone should investigate how you weasel out of a four-year enlistment in just 29 months!

In reply to Joe123. AMEN!!! He's done HORRIBLE things for our population. He removed our right to vote, signed "scorched earth" bills into law. Fed the private prison industry.

What a sick bastard, accepting money from a For-Profit Prison group, about as ridiculous of an institution as could be thought of.

People need to share this news so that this maniac isn’t elected for office.

It’s always Florida and Texas politics(Republicans) back and forth with each other like a waltz dance.

Another example of how much money is controlling our so-called democracy. In my state of Michigan, privatization of prisons experiments have failed so far, fortunately. Just this year, they are abandoning the privatization of the food service because it was a failure too. However, the prison health provider services are still privatized, and I can state from first-hand experience that health care there is inadequate. I’m sure the lobbyists for the private companies are still pouring money into Lansing in an effort to make more deals with the state, always at the expense of the inmates. I read a nonpartisan study while in prison in 2005 about why Michigan’s number of prisons had grown so much over previous years. The study concluded that it was primarily to provide more state jobs for smaller communities. It had nothing to do with protecting the public.

Prisons are big business. In Pennsylvania the Houtzdale State prison was built in a town where there was nothing. No businesses, No work for residents. Now all of the prison has residents of the town employed by the prison. There are Motels, restaurants and other businesses that would not be there if it were not for the prison being there, and 6 years ago there were two brothers that were the head of the prison. It is like or was like a family affair running the prison. It was a nice prison as far as prisons go. but still a prison. Another prison called Rockview just finished the new prison to replace the old one. I was never there but it is according to a friend of mine a huge facility.
