This time last year, more than 80 percent of people detained by ICE were in facilities run by private prison companies. No one should profit off the misery caused by immigration detention. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Private prisons aren’t the problem. Laws that make it lucrative to own prisons is the problem.

Good try. In 2020 ICE had 122,233 detainers. The subjects of these detainers had criminal histories including more than 1,900 homicide-related offenses, 1,900 kidnappings, 3,600 robberies, 42,800 assaults, and 11,900 sex crimes.

I'm from the UK, recently sawa modern slavery docu. When they showed the US prison system was basically a money making scheme I was shocked. I believe this is why so many ethnic minorities end up cycling round on ridiculously long sentences, it still looks like slavery to me tbh

That's right, now the government will be able to make money off of cheap, forced labor. Win win

Better yet, abolish both ICE and private prisons!
