We already knew from
\n
\nCCA’s 2010 report to the SEC<\/a>
\nand from
\n
\nCCA’s own video disparaging community opposition<\/a>
\nthat community opposition can affect CCAs ability to site a prison.
\nThey said it yet another way back in 2009.<\/p>\n

\nIn the
\n
\n17 August 2009 press release<\/a> about
\n
\n<\/a>
\n
\nDamon Hininger<\/a> being appointed CEO:<\/p>\n

\nThis press release contains statements as to the Company’s beliefs
\nand expectations of the outcome of future events that are
\nforward-looking statements as defined within the meaning of the
\nPrivate Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
\nforward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
\nthat could cause actual results to differ materially from the
\nstatements made. These include, but are not limited to, the risks
\nand uncertainties associated with: (i) fluctuations in the Company’s
\noperating results because of, among other things, changes in
\noccupancy levels, competition, increases in cost of operations,
\nfluctuations in interest rates and risks of operations; (ii) changes<\/p>\n\n\n
\nthe risks
\nand uncertainties associated with: …
\n
\nthe public acceptance of the Company’s services,
\n<\/strong>
\n the timing of the
\nopening of and demand for new prison facilities and the commencement
\nof new management contracts; (iii) the Company’s ability to obtain
\nand maintain correctional facility management contracts….
\n<\/span>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

in the privatization of the corrections and detention industry,
\n
\nthe public acceptance of the Company’s services, the timing of the
\nopening of and demand for new prison facilities and the commencement
\nof new management contracts; (iii) the Company’s ability to obtain
\nand maintain correctional facility management contracts,<\/strong> including
\nas a result of sufficient governmental appropriations and as a
\nresult of inmate disturbances; (iv) increases in costs to construct
\nor expand correctional facilities that exceed original estimates, or
\nthe inability to complete such projects on schedule as a result of
\nvarious factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control,
\nsuch as weather, labor conditions and material shortages, resulting
\nin increased construction costs; and (v) general economic and market
\nconditions. Other factors that could cause operating and financial
\nresults to differ are described in the filings made from time to
\ntime by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So maybe we should drum up some community opposition to
\nthe private prison the Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority (VLCIA)
\nwants CCA to build in Lowndes County, Georgia.
\nWhat ideas do you have to go beyond
\n
\nthe petition?<\/a><\/p>\n
