Private security guards supplied by G4S to remove immigration detainees were branded unprofessional and racist today by the head of Britain’s prisons watchdog: here. And here.

Dear Friend,
Guillermo Gomez-Sanchez is a 50 year old legal resident with a mental disability. In 2004 Gomez was detained because of a dispute at a grocery store over a bag of tomatoes.
Guillermo spent two years at a private CCA (Corrections Corporation of America) detention facility – the corporation neglected to report his medical condition.
Watch our video and take a stand with Cuéntame’s Immigrant For Sale documentary campaign today.
CCA profited close to $90,000 off of Gomez’ incarceration, and ensured greater profit by failing to disclose his mental disability effectively leaving Guillermo trapped for 2 years. In 2010 CCA CEO Damon T. Hininger received $3,266,387 in total compensation.
It’s time to put an end to the private prison racket. How many more are suffering lost in a system that values profit over justice? Join the discussion on Facebook today!
Yours,
Robert Greenwald, Axel Caballero and Brave New Foundation’s Cuéntame team.
