  • Hustle and Flow: Prison Privatization Fueling the Prison Industrial Complex
    FULCHER FINAL (DO NOT DELETE) 6/10/2012 2:43 PM Hustle and Flow: Prison Privatization Fueling the Prison Industrial Complex Patrice A. Fulcher* ABSTRACT The Prison Industrial Complex (“PIC”) is a profiteering system fueled by the economic interests of private corporations, federal and state correctional institutions, and politicians. The PIC grew from ground fertilized by an increase in the U.S. prison population united with an economically depressed market, stretched budgets, and the ineffective allocation of government resources. The role of the federal, state, and local governments in the PIC has been to allocate resources. This is the first of a series of articles exploring issues surrounding the PIC, including (1) prison privatization, (2) outsourcing the labor of prisoners for profit, and (3) constitutional misinterpretations. The U.S. prison population increased in the 1980s, in part, because of harsh drug and sentencing laws and the racial profiling of Blacks. When faced with the problem of managing additional inmates, U.S. correctional institutions looked to the promise of private prison companies to house and control inmates at reduced costs. The result was the privatization of prisons, private companies handling the management of federal and state inmates. This Article addresses how the privatization of prisons helped to grow the PIC and the two ways in which governments’ expenditure of funds to private prison companies amount to an inefficient allocation of resources: (1) it creates an incentive to increase the prison population, which led to a monopoly and manipulation of the market by Correction Corporation of America (“CCA”) and The GEO Group, Inc.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. EMANCIPATE THE FLSA: TRANSFORM THE HARSH ECONOMIC REALITY OF WORKING INMATES PATRICE A. FULCHER* ABSTRACT Prisoner labor is a booming American industry. The 2.3 million people in the United States of America ("U.S.") behind bars serve as human resources sustaining the Prison Industrial Complex. In a less economically depressed market, perhaps there would be national prison reform campaigns geared toward decreasing the prison population. But in today's economic climate, the increase of U.S. inhabitants sentenced to prison has helped to quench the thirst for cheap, and in many instances, free laborers. Proponents of the use of inmate labor in the U.S. have argued that inmates should not be paid minimum wages because working for free is a part of the punishment for their crime. However, critics maintain that forcing inmates to work for free is the rebirth of chattel slavery. In order to protect the rights of workers, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") in 1938, which in part, established the national minimum wage requirement.

  • Overview of Prison Privatization in Arizona
    Prison Privatization in Arizona A briefing paper prepared by the American Friends Service Committee, Arizona Area Program American Friends Service Committee, Arizona Area 103 N. Park Ave., Ste. 111 Tucson, AZ 85719 (520)623-9141 (520)623-5901 fax [email protected] October 2010 Introduction The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker organization that works for peace and justice worldwide. Our work is based on a commitment to nonviolence and the belief that all people have value and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. The AFSC‟s programs promote social justice by focusing on a diverse set of social concerns. The organization‟s criminal justice work has always focused on the need for an effective and humane criminal justice system that emphasizes rehabilitation over punishment. Here in Arizona, our criminal justice program advocates for a reduction in the state‟s prison population through rational sentencing reform and a moratorium on new prison construction. A key focus of that effort is our work to educate the public on the risks inherent in prison privatization through for-profit prison corporations. This document is an attempt to paint a picture of the current efforts at privatization of prisons in the state of Arizona and raise questions about the potential pitfalls of this practice. Arizona Overview Arizona‟s experiment with for-profit incarceration began in the early 90‟s when the state faced the first of many prison overcrowding crises. Arizona‟s first privately operated prison was the Marana Community Correctional Treatment Facility, a minimum-security prison for people with substance abuse issues.

  • Deux Débats Parlementaires Sur L'adhésion De La Suisse À La Société Des Nations Il Y a 100
    Parlamentsdienste Services du Parlement Servizi del Parlamento Servetschs dal parlament Version print_2 Bulletin officiel 3003 Bern Deux débats parlementaires sur l’adhésion de la Suisse à la Société des Nations il y a 100 ans La question de la neutralité au centre de la discussion La Suisse a fait son entrée à la Société des Nations, précurseur de l’Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU), en 1920, quelques mois seulement après que cette dernière fut créée en vue de mettre un terme aux conflits mondiaux et de garantir la paix. Tous les éclairages, ou presque, sur l’adhésion de la Suisse à la Société des Nations se concentrent sur le rôle du Conseil fédéral ou de certains conseillers fédéraux (Gustave Ador, Felix Calonder, Giuseppe Motta) ainsi que sur la campagne qui a précédé la votation populaire. Cette approche est tout à fait légitime, les conseillers fédéraux ayant effectivement joué un rôle déterminant dans l’adhésion de la Suisse à la Société des Nations, sa participation au sein de l’organisation et le choix du siège de cette dernière. La votation populaire qui a précédé l’adhésion est un autre aspect déterminant, d’une part en raison de l’importance de la thématique, et d’autre part en raison de l’élargissement des droits populaires lié à celle-ci. C’est la première fois en effet que le peuple a pu se prononcer sur un traité international. Ces aspects ont néanmoins éclipsé le rôle central du Parlement, qui a mené deux grands débats sur la question de l’adhésion, d’abord en novembre 1919 puis en mars 1920.

  • Bulletin 2004 Zur Schweizerischen Sicherheitspolitik
    Gute Dienste – Mythen, Fakten, Perspektiven von Daniel Trachsler Einleitung Verhandlungen über die Wiedervereinigung Zyperns auf dem Bürgenstock, Lan- cierung der «Genfer Initiative» mit offizieller Unterstützung der Schweiz, Kontakte zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und dem Iran über den Umgang mit dem Schi- itenführer Muktada al-Sadr im Irak, welche über die schweizerische Botschaft in Teheran abgewickelt werden – die Guten Dienste der Schweiz stehen wieder stärker im Brennpunkt der Öffentlichkeit als auch schon. Auch in den Konzeptpapieren des Eidgenössischen Departements für auswärtige Angelegenheiten (EDA) tau- chen sie wieder prominenter auf. Die Politische Direktion des EDA wolle «eine aktive Rolle als Vermittlerin im Rahmen von politisch-diplomatischen Friedens- prozessen spielen und Gute Dienste in einer Form anbieten, welche den heutigen Realitäten Rechnung trägt»1, lautet das erste von fünf Zielen, an welchen sich die zivile Friedensförderungspolitik der Schweiz künftig ausrichten soll. Gerade seit dem Wechsel am Steuerruder des EDA knüpft die Schweiz wieder bewusster an diese vielbeschworene Tradition an.2 Nach der «Flaute»3 Mitte der neunziger Jahre, als der neue internationale Kontext und der Wegfall des ständigen Legitimations- zwangs der Neutralität die Guten Dienste in eine Sinnkrise stürzten, scheint nun das ehemalige aussenpolitische Flaggschiff zumindest wieder seetüchtig gemacht zu werden. Doch wohin soll die Reise gehen? Und wie kann ein erneutes Auflaufen in den Untiefen der internationalen Politik vermieden werden? Soll die schweizerische Politik der Guten Dienste nicht nur traditionsreich, sondern auch zukunftsträchtig sein, so ist zweierlei unabdingbar: erstens gilt es eine nüchterne Bilanz über die bisherigen schweizerischen Aktivitäten zu ziehen; zweitens muss eine ebenso nüchterne Einschätzung der künftigen Anforderungen und Trends vorgenommen werden.
