Do the feds still use for-profit prisons?
- TimorousBestie 1y agoNo, but the feds still rent prisoners out for forced labor. The profits merely go to someone else.
- alistairSH 1y agoStopped via EO (Biden) in November 2022. Trump can easily start using them again, should he care to do so.
- esseph 1y agoMost if not all of those were revoked by Trump EOs.

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
