The Town of Davie has just posted a contract with their agenda item to discuss providing the town of Southwest Ranches with Fire/EMS services, coverage that would extend to the plans the Town has for a future 2500 bed 500,000 sq. ft. detention center.
See the excerpt taken from contract below.
Remember back in November when they said they were going to cap it at 1500 beds? We didn't believe them, and now we see that we were right to not trust the Town and CCA capping the beds at 1500. All the Town and CCA care about is showing them the money because their Town is drowning in liabilities for parks brought in from the Canada days...
Now they have almost doubled this facility from 1500 beds to 2500 which would be 4.5 times the size of Krome brought into West Broward County. Krome is a 500 bed facility. To put this in terms that you might understand better we are going to do some Wal-Mart math.
The average Walmart store is approximately 97,000 square feet, while
Walmart's larger stores, referred to as Super Centers, carries a square
footage of approximately 186,000. - Ask.com
How do you like THEM apples?
If not, email the Davie Council and make your voice heard by asking them not to allow this to happen. Email your Officials. Better Yet, ATTEND the Davie Town Council meeting located at 6591 Orange Drive on Wednesday, May 2nd at 6:30 pm. Pembroke Pines said they didn't have a vote on the Detention Center yet they were called on it for providing Fire/EMS and Water/Sewer for it in the Fire/EMS Agreement. Politifact did a nice article on that.
Do they not realize how secure communities and this detention center will ruin our community?

CCA rebuttal 7.pdf
The audacity of the Town of SWR and CCA never ceases to astound me! How do these people live with themselves? They are all pathological liars! Now 2,500 beds instead of the 1,500. No one believed them when they backed down from the bed increase in November. We always knew that CCA would do whatever they wanted, they always do...no accountability to anyone, they're a private company! How can anyone even consider doing business with CCA? Wake up people this is a BAD DEAL for ALL of Broward! Weston, Davie, Cooper City, etc...you will all feel the negative effects this prison can make if it goes through! READ, GET INFORMED AND GET INVOLVED! Our community's future depends on it!!
ReplyDeleteHope Davie is reading the whole contract with a fine tooth comb. When Pines was going to give SWR Fire/EMS they backdoored extras to the contract. Now SWR is begging for the water and sewer they tried to get from Pines. Nelson is quoted as saying he can make the lawsuit go away if Pines gives the prison water/sewer. He'll throw his town under the bus for CCA. He's also probably telling Pines he'll keep the roads between Pines and SWR open if they give water and sewer! Close the roads! NO PRISON!
ReplyDeleteDavie has been around long enough to know Jeff Nelson and SWR shenanigans, so one would hope theyre smart enough to read the fine print. By now, its quite clear that Nelson is only in this for himself, he cares for no ones interests but himself.
ReplyDeletePart of Davie goes right down the middle of SWR and is located only a few miles from the detention center. Im sure the residents wont be happy that there will be illegal detainees running through our communities on ankle monitoring bracelets and thousands of strangers will also be coming and going through our towns.
Davie, be smarter than Jeff Nelson. Actually, thats not hard to do, my 6 year old niece is smarter than Nelson.
One problem -- Bergeron's influence in Davie
DeleteAnd you know where he fits into this whole deal.
I LIVE IN DAVIE AND DONT WANT MY TAX DOLLARS PAYING A PRIVATE PRISON TO INCARCERATE PEOPLE! PRISONS FOR PROFIT IS WRONG! LET SOUTHWEST RANCHES HANG

DAVIE
I hope you will be attending the Council meeting to let the council members know...
DeleteROBERT, PLEASE COME TO THE MEETING AT DAVIE> YOUR COMMENTS ARE VALUABLE TO OUR MISSION. I HAVE MANY FRIENDS IN DAVIE AND HAVE ASKED THEM TO SHOW UP TONIGHT. PLEASE DO THE SAME.
DeleteDoes Mayor Paul realize that this proposed prison is only about a mile from Silver Trail Middle School where her Davie residents attend? Does Mayor Paul realize that released immigrants will have to walk past that middle school to get to the nearest public transportation? It is also less than a mile from West Broward High where Davie residents also attend. Is Mayor Paul aware of ICE's Alternative to Detention where thousands of immigrants will be released into all of our communities? This prison does not belong in Broward. Private prisons do not belong in our society! It's disgraceful!
ReplyDeleteMayor Paul, you have always done the right thing by Davie! Please don't turn your back on your residents in the west! Say no to Fire/EMS for Southwest Ranches!!
Not to split hairs, but it will be illegal aliens released, not immigrants, there's a difference, and yes, the worst part is many of them will have criminal records.
DeletePrivate prisons have no place in our society, much less in the midst of thousands of homes with children. The mere presence of CCA increases public safety risk. CCA had no regard for Pines, SWR, or anyone else, they are here to make money at the expense of human lives. Homeland security has no business putting thousands of people at risk using remote monitoring aka ankle bracelets among communities. ICE is the worst domestic terrorist in this case.
Our federal tax $$ are paying for this crap, right in our own backyards. Thanks Obama and failed immigration policy. Thanks wasserman Schultz for acting like a republican and being a private prison tool. Thank you homeland security for bringing the danger to our own backyards
no prison in sw ranches.does mayor paul care about property values or kids safety? hmmmmm
ReplyDeletecrime pays!! ask nelson n paul n ice/cca
ReplyDeleteMy child goes to silver trail ms....I live in western Davie. I'd rather not see Davie support this and put our families and children in danger. I've read the govt reports, they release illegals on ankle bracelets including pedophiles and violent criminals
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I hope to see you there on Wednesday.
DeleteSTEPHANIE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. PLEASE JOIN US TONIGHT AT DAVIE WEDNES. MEETING. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN CHANGE THE TIDE.
DeleteAs a resident of Pines I would hope, and believe, that my mayor and commissioners would take into consideration how a neighboring municipality feels about an issue. Davie knows that Pines does not want this facility! Can Davie, in good conscience, provide services to this atrocity?
ReplyDeleteI think all towns/cities in Broward should band together and stand up against private for profit prisons!! As a federal judge from Mississippi has stated about the conditions seen in a private prison, "a picture of such horror as should be unrealized anywhere in the civilized world."
Do we want this in our county? Do we want this near our children, homes, schools, and places of worship? I think not!!
Sen. Nelson will be receiving a phone call, a letter, and an email from me shortly asking him to change his stance on this matter. I don't live in the area, but I am diametrically opposed to for-profit prisons and my vote counts. I have supported Sen. Nelson in the past but I will NOT vote for him if he continues to endorse this project.
ReplyDeleteThese Prison for Profits ruin a community in more ways than one. The prisoners become the workers-slave labor as it's called, the train them to build things like washing machines, and teach them to grow crops, fruits, vegetables and an array of different services that can be sold at a lower price than what can be found in your neigborhood. My minor child is living in a prison for a murder he did not comitt and is not culpable for, Bryce's disability status is Other Health Impaired, I wonder how many people own stock in this prison for profit industry that is an epidemic in our country? How much do they stand to profit from my minor sons life and your loved ones life too. http:www.4brycesbattle.org
