Citizens Speak Out Against Private Prisons

The Globe-Miami Times website has posted a video featuring local citizens who spoke against the idea of a local private prison at a recent City Council meeting. The video also says that the Southern Gila County Economic Development Corporation produced a DVD for state officials that claimed that a private prison proposal was supported by local residents—before anyone in Globe even knew about the idea. The video even shows the EDC president saying that the issue was approved by local voters--which of course is not true.

You can see the video at gmtnewsnviews.com along with a couple of other new articles on the subject. The video is also posted on You Tube.
