CCA requests rape lawsuit be dropped

Prison company asks judge to dismiss prisoner rape suit

I’ll try to sum this up in CCA’s own words:
1. In documents filed this week in federal court in Pikeville, CCA says the Kentucky woman never filed a formal grievance about the rape and therefore the civil lawsuit she filed July 2 should be dismissed
2. "CCA has a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate contact between staff and inmates and takes any such allegations seriously," said Steve Owen, a spokesman for the company, which is headquartered in Nashville. "We will support full prosecution under the law for any criminal activity detected."
Clearly.

First Post

If you've found your way to my blog, I probably sent you here, or, hopefully, you hate CCA (Corrections Corporation of America) and prison privatization in general as much as I do. There are myriad reasons WHY I hate CCA, GEO, MTC, Cornell, and anyone else who strives to make money from the incarceration of human beings. You will hear all about them, I assure you. So check back often to see why I do, and you should, hate CCA and their ilk.

Adios for now
