FORM 10-K IS A TREASURE TROVE OF INFORMATION

While the State is still formally reviewing proposals from four private companies to build and operate its prisons, the chance that a contract for prison operation would be drawn up in the next two years is about as close to zero as it can get.

NH needs to stay far away from CCA. It was founded by people I knew when I worked in the Virginia State government. They were all fired after an escape from Virginia’s death row in 1984. Daryl Cumber Dance wrote a wonderful book about it called Long Gone. And I know people who worked for CCA. They are mainly interested in profit and don’t really care about offering decent services. My take on privitization: You may think you are saving money, but it costs you in the long run.
