The following has been submitted to the Colorado Criminal
Justice Reform Coalition (www.ccjrc.org)
Regarding article “Private Prisons and the CCA bid
guarantee,” Winter 2012 quarterly newsletter.
I am appalled and just perfectly disgusted that Colorado
I was part of a group of 480 inmates (720 intended) used as
a human bondage pre-payment for financing of new construction of private prison
units; thus I have an intimate sense of what a guaranteed occupant is. I am one of that chattel.
First, we were regurgitated by the Owen’s administration to
a temporary holding facility in Oklahoma to
demonstrate that the state could “produce” inmates to fill new construction
that Corrections Corporation of America
wanted to undertake in Colorado
Second, when we moved from Oklahoma ’s
human collateral chattel status back to Colorado State
Any bid guarantee is an act of codifying this abuse.
One only need look back to the stunningly corrupt ploy by
Director of Prisons under Owen’s, Nolan Renfrow, to secure a 30 year / 90%
occupancy guarantee for GEO Corporation for a facility that only existed as and
architectural drawing. This puke was trying to contract with the state, through
a shell corporation on behalf of GEO while on state payroll, thus he was working against the state for a
private contractor by trying to sign both sides of a contract.
You may conclude that my current disgust arises from being
one of the 3,300 inmates guaranteed to CCA this fiscal year, but even more; the
aforementioned appalling aspect of my disgust arises from CDOC’s continuing
licking of CCA’s boots. They could not be more obsequious and utterly
bitch-made in their transfer of $66,000,000 + per year to CCA.
The article states that the Colorado Legislature made this
guarantee of payment for 3,300 inmates for a year. If the state was constitutionally allowed to
contract for periods greater than one year I’m sure they would have bent over
further to accept additional years into the collective civil rectum! This was in response to a CCA threat to close
this very facility I am at.
The article further states that this violates the “intergovernmental”
contract that CCA operates under in this state. [Contract – § 2.1.1 – “the
state does not guarantee any minimum number of offenders that will be assigned
to contractor’s facility,”
§ 2.1.3 – “nothing in this contract shall be construed as
requiring the contractor to provide space or as requiring CDOC to present for
confinement any offenders.”]
If one aspect of a contract is broken the entire contract is
void. Thus the corporation is committing
the criminal offense of false imprisonment (and kidnapping when they restrain
and forcibly move any person) and the state is illegally transferring money
from the state treasury to the corporation.
Also, why is the contract titled “intergovernmental?” That
would be a contract between governments.
Has Colorado
CDOC maintains 7000 parole eligible inmates incarcerated for
the following reasons of political expedience:
1.)
To maintain the false definition of parole established by
the mandatory parole act of 1993 (likely drafted by the corporation to create
the excess of inmates they house).
2.)
To maintain the threat of doing parole time
incarcerated.
3.)
As a shock absorber to control the number of
incarcerated.
The first two are impositions on the state by the
corporation; the third is the only option to push back on the corporation. The CDOC must exercise this option in the
face of vendor “threats.”
Solution: Release
half of the 7000 parole eligible inmates from incarceration onto actual parole
and let the population at the three CCA facilities draw down through regular
weekly transports until they are devoid of Colorado
