Tammy Seltzer, 96, of University Legal Services is Co-coordinating an effort with Deb Golden of the Washington Lawyers Committee, to urge the not to contract with Corizon for health care at the DC Jail. Tammy writes: UDC alums take action! Corizon Health, a private for-profit company that makes $1.4 billion dollars a year off of sick prisoners, was just recommended by DC’s Office of Contracting and Procurement to take over the healthcare at DC’s jails. The “care” Corizon provides is the #StuffOfNightmares. Watch this clip (https://youtube/watch?v=L7vrwi0PzH0) from John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight” explaining how Corizon poured sugar into a woman’s c-section instead of using antibiotics. If you can stomach it, there are more horror stories here (https://drive.google/file/d/0BxBGAIdLXlpDekIwQU1qVV9OWXc/view) For the contract to take effect, the City Council must first move for its consideration on TUESDAY. Tell Council Chairman Phil Mendelson we do NOT want this contract considered! Contact Evan Cash, Committee of the Whole Director, (202) 724-7002, [email protected] or Alana Intrieri, Legislative Counsel, (202) 724-8083, [email protected]. If introduced, the City Council must vote to affirm it by Thursday, January 22. We do NOT want this contract approved! Call your representatives (dccouncil.us/council) and tell them that you do not trust Corizon to serve the healthcare needs of people at DC Jail or CTF and that the Council should vote AGAINST awarding them the contract. #NoCorizonInDC! https://youtube/watch?v=L7vrwi0PzH0
