It's been documented for some time how awful privately-run immigration detention centers are, but I'm glad it's still being reported and not just accepted as somehow normal or acceptable. But you're correct, @Craig234: it seems that foreign press are more interested in reporting our human rights abuses than our own. I guess mergers are more important than documenting our democratic backsliding.
 
Wow. Trump spent $45 billion to lock up mostly productive immigrants. 70% of detainees have no criminal record and are often snatched out of jobs, reducing USA productivity and GDP.
 
I wonder who CoreCivic supported for president. Trump is worth a lot of money to them.
 
What is CoreCivic doing with all that money? They certainly are not buying enough food:

"Fernando, another detainee, who asked to go by a nickname out of fear of retaliation from staff and Ice, said that even when he saved all three daily meals to eat at once, it barely fit one plate: “The servings are just enough to keep us from starving.”"

"He also said he witnessed an older detainee ask an officer if he could have an extra tray of food that was sitting uneaten. The staffer said no and threw it away in front of him, he recalled: “I think that’s evil.”"

This must please Trump:

"Jon said he they first arrived, staff threw out many of the detainees’ personal belongings and conducted aggressive searches that involved touching their genitals. “They said: ‘Get your hands on the wall and spread your legs,’” he recalled. “People were saying: ‘Why are you touching me and holding onto my thing?’ And they said: ‘It’s procedure. If you don’t like it, too bad.’”"
 
This is disgusting:

"One asylum seeker inside California City, who requested anonymity due to fear of retribution, said he has been in Ice detention for more than a year and has been awaiting surgery for months. He said he can barely walk, and after he was transferred from another facility to California City, his requests for a wheelchair were repeatedly ignored.


“The day we got transferred was a disaster,” he said. “Many times, I requested a wheelchair and medical care. They just kept saying you have to walk. I was in pain. Nobody listened to me. Nobody cares. As the days pass, my health condition is getting worse.”"
 
I love feel good stories. Thanks for posting. The more this kind of stuff makes the headlines, the less will want to come here illegally, making our jobs much easier. Thanks for the help!

Trump has ruined America, wrecked it, and the magatry cheers the process.
Your parents lived in one of the best nations in the world. You live in a nasty, disgusting country. Your generation has completely squandered your inheritance.
Way to go!
 
That's what they want. They WANT brown people to suffer for being here in the white people's country (if you forget, you know, that we're the most diverse democracy ever).
