"Core Civic And Privatized Prisons Are A Cancer" (TDOC Hearing Highlights)

Even after another scathing audit TDOC was just extended 3 years and will continue to contract with Core Civic. Listen to HIGHLIGHTS from the hearing yesterday. Rep. Clemmons says "Core Civic And Privatized Prisons Are A Cancer" and points out TN by law is only supposed to have 1 in the state, but Core Civic found a loophole. Meanwhile an assistant commissioner explains away high prison guard rape numbers by saying they really just start relationships with inmates. Core Civic has spent over $3 million buying support from legislators, mostly Republican.
