Tell Congress: Ban Private Equity from Prison Healthcare

Private equity firms have taken over prison healthcare—and death rates are rising. Jails using private contractors have higher death rates than government-run facilities.

Here's how private equity harms patients:

• Tens of thousands of preventable deaths linked to private equity ownership

• Chronic understaffing and cost-cutting endanger lives

• Companies like Wellpath continue operating despite deadly track records

This is healthcare neglect disguised as cost savings, designed to maximize profits while people suffer from preventable medical crises.

Tell Congress: Ban private equity from prison healthcare—people's lives aren't investment opportunities.

At Santa Rita jail, 11 people have died since private healthcare took over. These facilities receive devastatingly low marks on healthcare report cards, yet private equity firms maintain significant political power while prisoners remain vulnerable.

Tell Congress: End private equity control of prison healthcare.
