All Floridians should be terrified right now. The current state of Florida Department of Corrections has not had an escape from a secure perimeter in years. All of the private companies that are bidding on these contracts have prisons in other states. Look at their record. Particularly look at GEO corporations. I think it will alarm you. What was the price tag that Governor Scott and the legislature placed on you and your families safety?

Gee, scott promised jobs to the people but unemployment went up to over 11%. He must be able to give cream puff work to his cronies, the companies that will fail to train and pay and provide meager benefit packages to the unwitting employees of these groups.

As long as the private prisons get to pick healthy, no trouble inmates, then they can run it cheaper. The “perfect” inmate is what they need. But all inmates are not healthy and inmates do have bad days too!

Prisons should not be private, because then they have incentive to jail more people by corrupt means to make money.

I hope no one complains about this action from our elected officials. I haven’t been seeing anyone showing up to advertised meetings in Jay or Century this week to voice opinions on their votes. You don’t know who to vote for when you can’t take the time to ask them their stance on these subjects.
