Marco Hinojosa had just finished a long day of work. He was off to meet with an old friend from his school to watch the Miami Heat game at a bar. Brendan Ross sat in his car and waited for Marco to return to his vehicle. Marco got into his car around 10:30 p.m. and started to drive back toward his home in Kendall. Brendan Ross stayed two or three cars behind Marco.
Marco was working on a story about CUC, but he was not getting far. He needed to talk to more people who had been incarcerated in CUC. In addition, the prison officials turned down all his requests. Marco showed up at Homestead Correctional Facility on three different occasions but was turned away by the officers. The Miami Post wanted to publish a series of stories on the perverse incentives of the private prison industry
