"We believe we have been successful in increasing the number of residents in our care and continue to pursue a number of initiatives intended to further increase our occupancy and revenue.” This statement from CCA’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K . . .

Residents? Increase our occupancy? Damned fuckers talk like it's a luxury hotel.

This will be an uphill battle because we are such a punitive society. Too many Americans believe that everyone in jail was rightly convicted & deserves it.
