AFSC Announces Public Hearings on Prison Privatization!

 From Cell-Out AZ

The American Friends Service Committee and the Private Corrections Working Group have just announced that they will be holding the first of three public hearings regarding prison privatization around Arizona this fall.  The first hearing will be held in Tucson on Wednesday, October 27th from 6-8pm at the Pima Community College Downtown Campus.  Follow this link for a copy of the press release and more info.
These hearings are a response to 5,000 new private prison beds that have been proposed and will be located throughout Arizona, and an attempt to get serious questioned answered. These hearings are a great opportunity to hear arguments from all sides and to get YOUR VOICE HEARD! If you are interested in speaking, it is requested that you bring written testimony, comments, and questions.  It is important for everyone in Arizona communities to attend these public hearings to make a statement to Arizona and the prison corporations that we care about this issue.
