When someone commits a crime, the sentence is supposed to be fair and proportional, not cruel and unusual. Yet many prisoners face suffering far beyond what any judge said was appropriate — especially if their medical services are provided by Corizon, a for-profit company.
Why’s that? Watch the video. The stories in it will make you angry. But don’t just get mad. Do something. Share this video on Facebook and tag a friend you think will share it too. Americans need to know where their tax dollars are going so they can work to stop prison profiteering.

We have 5 days to help a progressive group win $250,000.


Hi,

I wanted to let you know that I just joined the Progressive Slate to help raise money for progressive organizations in September.

The Progressive Slate is a group of progressive organizations competing in Pepsi‘s Refresh Everything contest. They are all working together to try and win over $1,000,000 worth of grants.

And they need our help.

They’re recruiting daily voters to help them win the contest in September. I just signed up and I think you should too!

To sign up, simply go to: http://www.theprogressiveslate.com/pepsi_moveon.php?name=credo

This is a great opportunity to help support a group of organizations committed to progressive issues!
