In a letter to 48 state governors in 2012, the largest for-profit private prison company in the US, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), offered to buy up and operate public state prisons.

A headache and fever may be a sign of an infection that is localized to your brain and/or spinal cord, which forms your central nervous system. Examples include: meningitis, encephalitis, or a brain abscess. Systemic or whole body infections, such as the flu or early HIV symptoms, may also cause a headache and fever. This all being said, sometimes a headache and fever is a sign of a viral infection that needs to run its course. It can be hard to distinguish, though, so be sure to get it checked out.
Plus, infections aren't the only causes of fever. Children with prolonged fever may have more mysterious symptoms, such as skin rashes, diarrhea, weight loss, or night sweats. And the symptoms might be caused by conditions like juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or even reactions to medications.
