I had a little TL/DR with this one so I’m sorry if this information was in the article: What corporate entity (or entities) are running the detention facilities and are they paid by the prisoner?
Tim, I did not see that information in the article. It is my understanding that these facilities are run by for-profit corporations (Core Civic, is one), and paid for by the federal government (our tax $). The funding is in the Big (not) Beautiful Bill. So this is all driven by greed.
Gabe, thank you for pulling back the curtain. I hate what I see, but at least now I understand it better.
And the better I understand it, the better I can fight it.
Because that’s the whole point.

Yes. It’s ALL driven by greed. I think we lose sight of that too often. Follow the damn money. Always.
