"Nashville-based Corrections Corporation of America plans to close a Minnesota prison due to a crash in the Minnesota inmate market."
I wonder if CCA's upper management sits around fretting whenever the crime rate goes down? That's the paradox, that the taxpayer's want to see crime go down because criminal's are a drain on tax revenue yet a private company like CCA needs MORE crime to occur or no Christmas bonuses!
p.s. I bet CCA hates politicians like Giuliani who took credit and bragged about the drop in the NYC crime rate.

You forgot to add that the Obama Birth Certificate Controversy has just picked up new steam as Sarah Palin has joined the fray!!!!! http://hotair.com/archives/2009/12/03/palin-obamas-birth-certificate-is-fair-game/
What are you going to do now, Obamabots?!?! You can't stop Sarah, you can only hope to contain her!!!!! I think I will send her a couple of dollars for her campaign.
According to a rather unsettling report in The Commercial Appeal, Arlington Mayor Russell Wiseman posted a racist rant on his Facebook page about President Obama -- apparently triggered by President Obama's Afghanistan speech interfering with the annual broadcast of the "Peanut's" Christmas Special.
Geez, Chris, that's like saying hospitals want to make sure people stay sick so they can charge them for their health care. That doesn't make much sense.
There's going to be crime. We know that. What CCA can do is position itself as a more cost effective solution to managing and housing the inmate population than the local (and in some cases, federal) government.
But the idea that their big wigs sit around fretting every time the crime rate drops is just silly.
Yikes, that was a tongue in cheek response to that one line. I'm sure no one is sitting around fretting about a crime drop. I do think that CCA is less efficient, from what I've seen and read, than public prisons, but that's another story.
