1. Rubio will never bring up private prisons, it would kill his Latino support. Immigration is an issue he has to dance around and he won't look good as the private-prison guy.

2. You seem to not understand the difference between the Federal govt and State govt.
Private prisons are not used by Maryland. There is no law for him to try and change. There is no Federal policy he could have changed as governor of Md.

3. No, Maryland has no private prisons. Here's a letter from the aclu:

4. You might think it is a fair question, but it will get answered by "We have no private prisons in Maryland" type of response.

5. A Rubio/O'Malley debate would be one of the funniest events ever. The candidate most clued in on policy with comprehensive/specific plans to improve the country versus a lip-smacking, empty suit who looks desperate to run whenever a tough question is asked? Note to self, stock up on

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

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

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
