An ex-private prison manager was recently promoted to be a director of some of Amazon's worker training programs.

Dayna Howard now holds the title of "Director, Learning and Development – Consumer" after a recent promotion at Amazon, according to her LinkedIn page. Learning and Development is what Amazon calls employee training. Earlier in her career, Howard was a quality assurance manager for the Corrections Corp. of America between 2000 and 2005. The company, now known as CoreCivic, is one of the largest private prison companies in the U.S. and runs 65 state and federal detention facilities. Matt Stoller, Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project, pointed out the promotion in his newsletter this week.
