For-Profit Detention Machine
from Edmonton News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Nearly 90% of detainees now held in private facilities, companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group are cashing in—more than the Bureau of Prisons—while detainees like David Gomez pay thousands for basic care, often treated as mere expenses. Conditions range from overflowing toilets to substandard meals, with inflated commissary prices adding to the burden. Despite corporate claims of humane treatment, the reality for those trapped inside paints a grim picture of profit-driven incarceration.
