A producer provides a first-hand account of the atmosphere at the Otay Mesa Detention Facility in San Diego, where employees have received death threats following public calls to action by celebrities like Peter Fonda. The facility, operated by the private company CCA, houses adults awaiting trial for serious crimes rather than children. The account also details a visit by Nancy Pelosi, who reportedly confronted the facility's chaplain regarding biblical justifications for border policy.

The U.S. Justice Department announced it will end the use of private prisons, citing concerns over safety, security, and lack of cost savings. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates issued the memo, which affects 13 federal facilities but excludes immigration detention centers. While Bill Clinton recently called for prison reform, critics noted that his 1990s policies were largely responsible for the massive increase in the federal inmate population.

Following the Justice Department's announcement, stocks for private prison companies CCA and GEO Group plummeted by over 35% in a single trading day. The timing of the announcement during active trading hours raised suspicions of insider trading or "setting up buddies" to profit from the volatility. Major investors like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Warren Buffett have historically held stakes in these corporations.

### Charter Schools and the Prison Pipeline

- **Episode:** [703: Lowjistiks](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/703-lowjistiks.md)
- **Published:** 2015-03-12
- **Time:** 2:27:36–2:29:57
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/703-lowjistiks/chapter/charter-schools-and-the-prison-pipeline.md

The push for charter schools is linked to a broader agenda of marginalizing students and routing them toward the privatized prison system. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is noted as an investor in the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA). The hosts argue that early identification of "failing" students through Common Core leads to a "fast track to prison" and a return to 19th-century-style slave labor.

A Frontline documentary on the U.S. prison system highlights the lack of rehabilitation and the difficulties faced by former inmates. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is criticized for investing in the Correctional Corporation of America (CCA), a private prison operator, while failing to fund community halfway houses. The hosts argue that the foundation uses a complex web of non-profits to obscure its influence and spending.

### Prison Privatization, Corrections Corporation of America

- **Episode:** [401: The War on Chicken](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/401-the-war-on-chicken.md)
- **Published:** 2012-04-19
- **Time:** 2:29:19–2:31:33
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/401-the-war-on-chicken/chapter/prison-privatization-corrections-corporation-of-america.md

The Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) has offered to buy state prisons in 48 states under the condition that they maintain a 90% occupancy rate. The hosts characterize this as the institutionalization of slave labor, where the state is incentivized to keep citizens incarcerated to meet corporate profit goals. They argue that this privatization removes legal recourse for prisoners and turns justice into a profit-driven enterprise.
