The Carceral Accountability Council has launched a petition calling for the immediate termination of CoreCivic’s contract with Leavenworth County. The petition cites numerous instances of abuse, neglect, and mismanagement at the Leavenworth Detention Center. It argues that CoreCivic has consistently failed to meet its contractual obligations and has demonstrated a disregard for the well-being of inmates. The petition aims to gather public support for ending the county’s relationship with the for-profit prison corporation.
The petition highlights specific examples of CoreCivic’s failures, including inadequate medical care, unsanitary living conditions, and excessive use of force. It also points to the company’s history of legal violations and ethical breaches. The Carceral Accountability Council believes that ending the contract with CoreCivic is the first step towards creating a more just and humane carceral system in Leavenworth County. The petition is available online and at community events.
We urge all concerned citizens to sign the petition and join us in demanding an end to CoreCivic’s presence in Leavenworth County. Together, we can send a clear message that we will not tolerate the exploitation and abuse of incarcerated individuals. The Carceral Accountability Council remains committed to fighting for a future where justice and accountability prevail.
