Mystery Prison Buses in the Desert

On a recent visit to Tucson, Arizona, where I was invited to give a presentation on monetary reform, I was disturbed by a story of strange goings on in the desert. A little over a year ago, it seems, a new industrial facility sprang up on the edge of town. It was in a remote industrial zone and appeared to be a bus depot. The new enterprise was surrounded by an imposing security fence and bore no outward signs identifying its services. However, it soon became apparent that the compound was in the business of outfitting a fleet of prison buses. Thirty or so secondhand city buses were being reconfigured with prison bars in the windows and a coat of fresh paint bearing the ?Wackenhut G4S? logo on the side.

The new Wackenhut operation is shrouded in mystery. It has been running its fleet of empty prison buses night and day, apparently logging miles on a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contract. Multiple buses can be seen driving all over town and even on remote desert back roads. Oddly, except for the driver and one escort guard seated in front, these buses are always empty.

I guess they must have moved them.

All I see is a highway.

Swing the view around

It's actually behind the view that comes up at first.

Thanks man. Good old Google

I'm assuming that whole yard is filled with buses now. Remember that streetview images are usually a year old or more.

Looking for more info on Wackenhut facility

To all,

If any one could provide a rough location for this facility, I'm more than willing to go investigate and photograph it. I'm in Phoenix, Tucson is only a couple of hours away. Please provide an idea of what side of town it may be on- I'm guessing it's on the south side, possibly to the east.

Yes, Janet Napolitano... She was a major proponent of Arizona's own version of the NAFTA highway. For the first twenty miles of highway coming up from Nogales, the mileage signs are now in kilometers for the benefit of truckers coming out of Mexico ;-(.

EDIT: http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=14518

This is a news story from a local Tucson rag. The Wackenhut buses in question may ( for the time being) be part of the Border Patrols illegal immigration repatriation program. It appears that these bus's are being used to ferry illegals back to Nogales.

How ironic...

...that this is in the state of Arizona where ze new Zecretary of Homeland Zecurity, Janet Napolitano, was formerly governor.

Soon to be at an empty Big Box Store near you:

PRISONS!

Yes, that's right while you're shopping at Baby Gap and getting that cool new iphone right next door at the old Linen and Things or Circuit City is going to be a housing pen for enemies of the state. Imagine what Christmas is going to be like

I suggest, here

the buses are only seen WHEN empty - think about it. To keep everyone puzzles while they do their work in the dead of the night.

I wonder if this is the big

I totally believe this

Right now they are filling southern California with warehouses. We are now officially the warehouse capital of the world.

But just like the DNC and RNC, I believe these warehouses will become prisons to house millions of people.

Can you explain some more about these warehouses?

I didn't think there was much available land in Southern California to begin with.

Isn't SoCal where all the shipments from China arrive? Or near to where they arrive? Maybe some companies plan to stockpile goods when they are able to be purchased for pennies on the dollar...
