And O'Malley was the governor while they plied their trade AND converted their business model into a trust to avoid taxes. I guess he's coming to Jesus, and that's fine, but it's a bit late:

Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), incorporated in Maryland and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, is the largest owner of for-profit prisons and immigration detention facilities in the United States. The only larger operators of such facilities are “the federal government and three states,” according to CCA. [1] It is publicly traded in the United States (NYSE: CXW) and had approximately 15,400 employees in 2013.[2] In 2013, CCA was converted into a real estate investment trust (REIT), which will help the company avoid tens of millions of dollars in corporate taxes.[3][4] CCA's revenue in 2013 was nearly $1.7 billion, and it had profits of $300 million, 100 percent of which came from taxpayers via government contracts.[2]

O'Malley: 'For-Profit' Prisons Are 'Immoral' [View all] elleng Nov 2015 OP

The very worst offender of this practice is ... incorporated in Maryland. Ooops. MADem Nov 2015 #1

They run prisons for the Federal Government, not for the State of Maryland. FSogol Nov 2015 #2

CCA was incorporated in 1983. Headquarters in Tennessee. No CCA prisons in Maryland. Koinos Nov 2015 #4

I understand that, but the optics remain poor. nt MADem Nov 2015 #5

LOL, the optics are poor? That's quite a stretch. O'Malley railed against the FSogol Nov 2015 #6

There are two facts at play, here: MADem Nov 2015 #7

In other States the immigrants were being held in for-profit prisons, that's FSogol Nov 2015 #8

Are you seriously trying to tell me that state governors ignore federal businesses MADem Nov 2015 #9

This is a group for O'Malley supporters. askew Nov 2015 #10

A few points: MADem Nov 2015 #11

So you aren't going to apologize for posting baseless attacks against O'Malley in the askew Nov 2015 #13

Your characterizations are "baseless." MADem Nov 2015 #14

Your comments aren't polite or respectful, they are pure bashing and FSogol Nov 2015 #15

If you can't take my remarks in the polite, open and honest way that I have offered them, MADem Nov 2015 #16

You think this was a polite comment? FSogol Nov 2015 #17

Which is why I asked--has he brought up this issue before? Or is he coming to Jesus? MADem Nov 2015 #18

You keep whining and making claims, but have not shown how it connects to O'malley. FSogol Nov 2015 #19

I have provided you a link that shows you where the largest offender is incorporated. MADem Nov 2015 #20

What does Marco Rubio have to do with O'Malley? FSogol Nov 2015 #21

If O'Malley gets the nomination (a long shot, but who knows?), Rubio could well be his opponent. MADem Nov 2015 #22

Laughably naive. FSogol Nov 2015 #23

Annnnnd.....straight to the personal insult! I could say the same about you. MADem Nov 2015 #24

And for the 4th time: Maryland doesn't use private prisons. FSogol Nov 2015 #25

They used to. MADem Nov 2015 #29

Stretchhhhhhhhh FSogol Nov 2015 #30

MO'M has a legacy problem WRT prison management. He does. MADem Nov 2015 #31

So, you try and prove your point by posting an article by a Hogan promoter? FSogol Nov 2015 #32

Some prison systems hire their own, state-employed, doctors and nurses. MADem Nov 2015 #33

Go make your unfounded allegations in some other group. n/t FSogol Nov 2015 #36

I assume that you did not realize you are posting in a protected group. Koinos Nov 2015 #3

I don't think you meant to talk to the person who started this thread, but that is what you are MADem Nov 2015 #12

You're right. It was directed at your first response. Koinos Nov 2015 #34

I don't understand tblue Nov 2015 #26

I misplaced my response. It was meant for Response #1. Koinos Nov 2015 #35

Good on O'Malley! K&R think Nov 2015 #27

Yes! elleng Nov 2015 #28
