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.
A simple cold or other viral infection can sometimes cause a high fever (102 - 104Â°F, or 38.9 - 40Â°C). This does not usually mean you or your child has a serious problem. Some serious infections may not cause a fever, or may even cause a very low body temperature, especially in infants.
