geo/wackenhut I try, really try, to give a person the benefit of doubt, even if they're a politician. I s'ppose I should know better, having lived as long as I have. This webpage should be read, every morning w/out fail, by every journalism class, high school and college, in the country. I applaud Michigan Messenger and every Writer/Reporter on the staff. Courage of Conviction instead of Greed and back stabbing, dirty tricks, Informing the People instead of manipulating Them. I encourage everyone I know, regardless of their political leanings, to read the news here. Thank you all.

You're funny Surely you must be joking that Michelle McManus would do anything at all to impede rampant corporatism, including the privatization of prisons.

Although I believe what we may be looking at, in my personal opinion, is a model for a future detention center. Which wouldn't give McManus a moment's trepidation, would it?

Thanks for your readership, always nice to see you here in comments.

geo/wackenhut What a shame that this went thru. Did McManus research Geo group's track record? numerous sexual assault cases, by the guards on juvie inmates, deaths, etc.. Some were in dubya's backyard even. I was "corrected' by gina damron of the freep over this business. Geo wants another facility in dee-troit. and the police officials interviewed by damron stated that they know of no other geo group jails in operation. Damron also stated that Geo is still operating under the wackenhut name. would that be because they want to confuse taxpayers? maybe get away with business as usual, with the least amount of interference by oversight groups? God help any person incarcerated in their jail. Do they have any ties to de vos,et. al? Thank you Mich. Messenger, E.
