Who we are
PCI in the News
Open Challenge to Louise Grant
(and any other private prison official):
Recently, you claimed that PCI was
spreading misinformation in Storey County, Nevada (Jan 8, 2009 Nevada Appeal).
Please inform PCI and the public specifically what misinformation we spread. PCI
challenges Ms. Grant and any other private prison official to publically debate
the issues of correctional privatization. Then we'll let the public determine
who is spreading misinformation.
