Latin America's largest airline files for US bankruptcy

Against the people who gave him the vote to govern his state. Governor Gavin Newsom has taken public money from education in California.

Gavin also gave Californians money to undocumented immigrants and forgot to serve citizens.

Now it is announced that California moved to end the use of private, for-profit lockups in America’s largest state prison system as well as in federal immigration detention centers in the state under a measure signed into law on Friday by Governor Gavin Newsom.

The new law bars the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from entering into or renewing a contract with a private company to run a state prison after Jan. 1, 2020, unless needed to meet court-ordered inmate housing limits. It will ban California from incarcerating anyone in privately run facilities altogether from 2028.

The measure, which passed the California legislature last month, does not apply to privately owned prisons operated and staffed by the state corrections agency.

Newsom said in a statement that he had vowed to abolish private prisons in the state when he took office in January “because they contribute to over-incarceration, including those that incarcerate California inmates and those that detain immigrants and asylum seekers.”

“These for-profit prisons do not reflect our values,” Newsom said.

Supporters of the bill have argued that private prisons are driven to maximize shareholder profits, lack proper oversight or incentives to rehabilitate inmates and have contributed to a culture of mass incarceration by making it cheaper to lock up people.

A total of seven low-security facilities collectively housing more than 5,000 people are at stake, all of them operated either by Florida-headquartered GEO Group, or Tennessee-based CoreCivic.

Defending their business model, the companies said they provided vital extra space when detentions in California’s prisons swelled to more than double the system’s capacity, sparking lawsuits that led to court-ordered cuts to inmate populations.

Therefore, it is expected that although California is historically Democratic, in the 2020 elections, the population will demonstrate against the Governor's party.
