End the Prison Industrial Complex (EPIC) Campaign

For Immediate Release by Cindy for Governor 2014
September 25, 2013


Instead of focusing on Ending Poverty in California and an EPIC push for funding and expanding everyone’s access to high quality education as a human right to reduce the inhumane conditions that are fueled by profound over-crowding in the 33 state prisons operated by California, Jerry Brown wants to reward his large campaign donors by giving almost one-billion dollars of the state surplus to the prisons for profit industry.

There is a deep disconnect in a state that spends over 60k per prisoner/year and less than 9k per K-12 student/year.

Below is a chart of spending on prisons and schools from California Budget Project (cpb.org): 



California Gubernatorial Candidate with the Peace and Freedom Party Cindy Sheehan made this statement: “A Cindy Sheehan administration would make dramatically increasing funding for education and eliminating poverty in our state a high priority to reduce the future need for 33 state prisons with horrendous over-crowded conditions. But, in the short run, 44% of our current prison population has been deemed at no risk for recidivism and most of these inmates can be released with little to no harm to our communities instead of being forced into the scandal ridden ‘prison for profit’ system.”

Sheehan continued: “I want to live in a state where human need is elevated over corporate greed and I am the candidate who can accomplish that because my allegiance belongs to the people of this state and I will accept no campaign contributions from crooked corporations like GEO CORP or Corrections Corp of America.”

    The prisons are no longer overcrowded so why is Jerry Brown siding up with privatized prison providers? Cindy needs to win to put a stop to this corruption!

    Still Truth-seeking After All These Years!     6 August 2022   Dear Loyal Soapbox Reader/Listener,   I have had this blog for 13 years now and there are almost 2k posts and 400 podcasts.    This service has become very unwieldly to use with the functionality becoming archaic and as a google product, it has begun to "unpublish" some posts that it deems inappropriate.   However, I will leave it up for eternity because it does have valuable archives and historical relevance, but I won't be updating it.   Please follow me at my new home at Substack   Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox Newsletter    There, I have found renewed motivation and vigor to attack the people and systems of our oppression and I am posting new Soapbox podcasts and have a new Video Cast called: Shee-Lilly which is a weekly collaboration between me and my co-host Dakotah Lilly (a Soapbox friend and favorite).   If you have not already, please check out our new home, and subscribe to get reminders every time

  SheeLilly#2 Cindy and Dakotah Rate the Final Season of the USA Cindy Sheehan Jun 10 Share This week on SheeLilly, Cindy Sheehan and Dakotah Lilly analyze the very collapse of the U.S. Empire that is happening right before our eyes. From Sloppy Joe Biden’s insane war against Russia in Ukraine and the Sanction Chickens coming home to roost here in the U.S., there is very little to be hopeful about, but we find something; If the U.S. collapses, how can we work in our communities to overcome the collapse and come back stronger!
