NEW! There are 4,000+ corporations in the prison industry, it's about time we knew who they are. We just released an interactive database exposing them all. Here's a glimpse at just a few. 🧵 Visit to dig deeper into the dark web of prison profiteering.

3 years ago, Absolute Standards, a CT-based chemical corp. sold lethal injection drugs to AZ to carry out executions. The shelf life of these drugs is now expired. Visit to demand that Absolute Standards notify the state & require their drugs thrown out.
BREAKING: Despite concerns about execution protocols, and claims of expired lethal injection drugs, the Arizona Supreme Court has granted a warrant of execution for Aaron Gunches. The execution, set for March 19, will be the first after a two-year moratorium.

Apparently it’s not enough to ban the death penalty, we have to ban profiting off it too. That's why we worked w/ CT lawmakers to introduce SB430 to prohibit the manufacture & sale of any drug or medical device for the purpose of executions. Take action:

Being excited about killing people is deeply disturbing. To all the corporations profiting off people in the carceral or immigration system: We're excited to see you disappear and we're working hard to make that a reality.
The gleeful profiteers from Trump’s police state

We are thrilled to see @WisdomWisconsin connecting families with their campaign to make phone and video calls free for people incarcerated in WI. The cost of staying connected should never keep families from being able to speak with their loved ones.

From battling wildfires to making hand sanitizer during COVID, incarcerated people do essential work—without rights, fair pay, or protections. The U.S. still allows slavery under the 13th Amendment. That must change. @sister_warriors @TeenVogue

Biden ran on the promise of ending federal use of private prisons when he was in office—a promise he did not keep. Now Trump plans to expand their use as private prison corporations and investors cash in.

As our Executive Director @biancatylek highlights, private prison corporations are cashing in on Trump's anti-immigrant agenda—again. His EOs are fueling profits for corporations like GEO Group & CoreCivic, prioritizing detention over dignity.
