JUDY GREENE: "Well, C.C.A. is the largest private prison corporation in the world and in the United States. They have some 60,000 prison beds that they manage. They house prisoners from the federal prison system, from state prison systems, and they have an increasing share of contracts to house immigrants in their detention centers.

And Texas continues to be the ground zero of the immigrant detention industry."DemocracyNow! 04.May.06
