>> A PRIVATELY RUN PRISON TRANSPORT COMPANY IS GETTING
SUED AFTER ONE MAN SAYS HE WAS SHACKLED IN THE BACK OF THIS VAN
FOR 18 DAYS COVERED IN FILTH AND HUMAN FECAL MATTER.
THIS ALL STARTED WHEN THE ALLEGED VICTIM WAS IN WEST
VIRGINIA, HE HAD MOVED TO WINCHESTER, AND WHILE HE
WAS AT A GAS STATION POLICE STOPPED HIM BECAUSE THEY
BELIEVED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS STOLEN.
THEY SAID HIS VEHICLE WAS REPORTED STOLEN IN HOUSTON,
AND THEY FILED CHARGES AGAINST THEM.
AT THAT POINT THIS TRANSPORT VEHICLE CAME AND PICKED THEM UP
AND HE WAS SHACKLED IN THE BACK OF HIS VAN.
LATER THE REPORT TURNED OUT TO BE FALSE AND CHARGES WERE
DISMISSED.
WHEN YOU READ ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THIS
TRANSPORT COMPANY THEY ARE PRETTY TORTUROUS.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES.
ALSO THE VAN WAS OVERCROWDED.
THIS WAS A FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS,
IT WAS NOT RUN BY THE
GOVERNMENT IN ANY WAY.
AS A RESULT THEY WANT TO DO WHAT?
MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFITS.
THE WAY THEY DO IT IS BY CRAMMING AS MANY PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE IN THE BACK OF THESE VANS.
>>IT REMINDED ME OF SLAVE TRANSPORT.
>>IT IS DISGUSTING.
THEY WANT TO AGAIN MAXIMIZE PROFITS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND
THEY ALSO DON'T WANT ANYONE TO TAKE ANY RISKS BECAUSE THE
CLOWNS RUNNING THIS OPERATION AND WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY ARE
NOT ACTUALLY TRAINED SO THEY DON'T WANT TO OPEN THE VAN TO
ALLOW THESE PRISONERS TO USE THE RESTROOM.
IT GETS WORSE.
THINK ABOUT IT, HE IS SITTING THERE SHACKLED IN THE BACK OF A
CARGO VAN WITH VOMIT, AND HE'S ALSO BEING DENIED PROPER
MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR HIS CONDITION.
>>IF YOU WENT TO WHERE HE WAS ARRESTED TO WHERE HE HAD TO
GO TO COURT IT WOULD TAKE YOU 20 HOURS.
INSTEAD IT TOOK NEARLY 20 DAYS.
THEY WERE GOING LIKE THIS TO PICK UP ALL THE OTHER GUYS.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE GUY IS GUILTY.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SPEEDY JUSTICE, DON'T CARE.
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OR
ANYTHING.
THEY HAVE TO MAKE MONEY.
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO COULD DIE.
THEY HAVE THEM SHACKLED UP 12 HOURS AT A TIME.
NO CIRCULATION IN THEIR LEGS.
HAVE A VERY CLOSE FAMILY FRIEND WHO DIED FROM A BLOOD CLOT WHO
WAS SITTING ON A PLANE TOO LONG COMING FROM AN
INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT.
BY THE WAY IF YOU ARE ON PLANES, WALK AROUND.
BUT IF YOU ARE SHACKLED IN THE BACK OF A VAN, 12 HOURS AT A
TIME YOU DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.
BUT YOU SAY THAT COULD BE READ BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR MEDICATION ñ HOW MANY PEOPLE
NEED MEDICATION?
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS.
THEY TAKE YOU ON AN 18 DAY HE'LL READ THROUGH THE COUNTRY TO MAKE
AN EXTRA BUCK, PEOPLE WILL DIE.
AND IN FACT THEY HAVE.
AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM ALLEGED MEDICAL NEGLECT.
WE ARE LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE TO MAXIMIZE PROFIT.
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A CORE GOVERNMENT JOB.
THE GOVERNMENT GETS TO IMPRISON PEOPLE.
IF WE TURN THE PRISON SYSTEM INTO FOR-PROFIT, WHICH WE
DID, WHAT WILL THEY DO?
THEY WILL CREATE MORE PRISONERS.
THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CITIZENS, THEY DO NOT CARE
ABOUT YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
EVEN IF THEY WERE GUILTY, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE.
WE HANDED THE CONSTITUTION OFF TO GUYS THAT WANTED TO MAKE
A BUCK.
>>THE THING THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY IS HOW INCREDIBLY EASY IT IS TO
DISTRACT AMERICANS WITH NON-ISSUES, NON-THREATS.
PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR THAN THEM, WHO ARE STRUGGLING IMMIGRANTS ñ
THOSE OF THE PEOPLE THAT AMERICANS ñ
ALL THE FOCUS IS ON THOSE ISSUES.
WHEN IN REALITY WHAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON IS THE
CORPORATIONS, PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER WHO CAN
VICTIMIZE ANYONE OF US.
THIS GUY WAS INNOCENT, HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
AND HE ENDED UP IN THE BACK OF THIS TORTUROUS VAN FOR 18 DAYS
STRAIGHT AND HE COULD'VE LOST HIS LIFE.
THE REASON WHY I'M SAYING THAT IS BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE THIS
ISSUE IN AMERICA WHERE WE THINK OF PRISONERS OR PEOPLE IN
CUSTODY AS THROWAWAYS OF SOCIETY.
BUT THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
>> WE HAVE LOST TOUCH WITH HUMANITY.
EVEN IF WE ARE GUILTY.
WE DIDN'T DO THIS TO THE CHARLESTON SHOOTER, WE GOT HIM
BURGER KING.
WE CAN DEHUMANIZE PEOPLE EXIST.
FOR STEALING A CAR?
YOU HAVE A GUY SITTING DEFECATION IN VOMIT
FOR ALL THAT TIME?
SO THE GUY HAS HYPERTENSION AND HIS BLOOD
PRESSURE SKYROCKETED.
SO WHEN HE TOLD OFFICERS WHAT THEY SAY?
SHUT UP OR WE ARE GOING TO TASE YOU.
INSTEAD OF HELPING THE GUY WHO MIGHT DIE FROM HYPERTENSION.
ONE MORE THING, THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF THIS
COMPANY WHEN ASKED ABOUT THESE SITUATIONS SAID WHY DON'T YOU
LET THEM GO TO THE BATHROOM?
HE SAID, " UNLESS IT IS LEIGH FORD
DEATH WE CAN'T OPEN A CAGE ON THE VEHICLE, WE DON'T KNOW IF
THEY ARE SETTING US UP FOR SOMETHING."
>>YOU ARE UNTRAINED AND YOU ARE NOT RIGHT FOR THIS JOB.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS JOB.
IF YOU HAVE THAT MUCH FEAR YOU SHOULD FIND WORK DOING
SOMETHING ELSE.
THIS COMPANY SHOULD NOT EXIST.
IT SHOULD NOT HAVE A FOR-PROFIT MODEL.
>>YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE 1% CHANCE AS USUAL SO YOU ARE
WILLING TO LET THEM DIE AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?
A LOT OF
THEM HAVE DIED.
