ADD YOUR NAME: BECOME A GRASSROOTS CO-SIGNER OF THE PRIVATE PRISON INFORMATION ACT
Congress
Congress needs to act to demand accountability from the private prison industry. Private prisons are being run without sufficient oversight, thanks to a loophole that allows them to not disclose information.
As a result, the public is left in the dark about the conditions inside these detention centers. Together, we must change that.
Become a grassroots co-signer of the Private Prison Information Act to force private contractors to adhere to the same public disclosure laws as their federal counterparts.

The Private Prison Information Act would create a critically important mechanism by which federal agencies can ensure that non-federal entities provide the information necessary for the government to respond to FOIA requests relating to prison and detention facilities, while still allowing for the protection of confidential information. Please support this important legislation and work with your colleagues in the Senate and the House to push for immediate passage.
