Do the feds still use for-profit prisons?
- TimorousBestie 1y ago
  No, but the feds still rent prisoners out for forced labor. The profits merely go to someone else.

  Stopped via EO (Biden) in November 2022. Trump can easily start using them again, should he care to do so.

    Most if not all of those were revoked by Trump EOs.

  In case you're serious about the question, the answer is a yes. Emphasis mine. > Seventy-five percent of the prisoners in U.S. Marshals custody are detained in state, local and _private_ facilities; the remainder are housed in Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facilities. https://www.usmarshals.gov/what-we-do/prisoners/operation/custody-detention https://www.usmarshals.gov/what-we-do/prisoners/operation/cu... Here is another source: > The U.S. Marshals Service detains about 60,000 people a day who are awaiting federal trial or sentencing. While it doesn't operate jails, it does partner with public and private detention facilities. The service assesses detention conditions at these facilities. > We found shortcomings in its oversight. For example, many deputies who reviewed state and local facilities hadn't received required training. Additionally, some facilities didn't meet some standards for 3 years in a row, including food safety standards. https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-106348 https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-106348

Honest question: What is the plan for all these "illegals" once they're rounded up and sent to "Alligator Alcatraz" or whatever detention facility? Are they just gonna be held indefinitely? Is there gonna be some sort of court proceeding to determine their "legality"?
- tessierashpool 1y ago
  no, they're (illegally) using a private intake system to bypass the courts.

    And I think their argument is that the detainees (the "illegal aliens") are not US citizens (according to them), therefore US laws and courts are not applicable.

    This seems like the most likely thing to me, in no small part that it’s already why American prisons exist in the first place.
