Justice Dept. Rebuilt Abu Ghraib Prison To Be Model of U.S. Criminal System LaborTalk By Harry Kelber
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) has 83,000 members who are employed in prisons, jails and other correction facilities. Known as AFSCME Corrections United (ACU), it conducts a continuing state-by-state fight against the privatization of prisons. It maintains that part of the prison problem is due to inadequate staffing, which makes for an unsafe workplace.
AFSCME Illinois Council 31, with 15,000 members, has a prison reform agenda that includes funding for a new maximum-security prison and a program for gang control in each correction facility. There is no evidence of self-criticism by the union of the many cruelties that prisoners are commonly subjected to.------------------------------------------- posted 7:21 AM :: reference link ::
