We are on the same\nteam always for transparency in government &#038; we can be on the same\nteam against CCA if we focus on fighting the 3P concept.\n<p>\nJust a reminder, I used to work for CCA &#038; I still love to see bad\nmen in shackles (emphasis on bad). I don&#8217;t share most of what I call\nsimplistic liberal views on prison reform, but I am certainly with\nyou against crony capitalism especially the public\/private\npartnership variety.
