CoreCivic in Leavenworth: Reformed or Human Rights Abuser? We’ll Talk to Prison Guards and Residents

On March 10, the Leavenworth City Commission is about to give permission for the Core Civic private prison there to reopen as an ICE jail, giving the government over 1000 beds to fill. This week on the Heartland Labor Forum we’ll talk about Core Civic’s shameful record of both prisoner and guard abuse when the prison operated before 2022. We’ll talk to former guards and a former detainee or two and with Advocates for Immigrant Rights and Reconciliation. Our features is Safety First with Mary Erio.  It’s still PLEDGE DRIVE and we sure could use your support please call or text “winter 26” to 50155 or go to kkfi.org  and DONATE.
