Leavenworth Detention Center seems like a prime example of why President Joe Biden wants to close private prisons: So far this year, the federally contracted jail has been the site of multiple stabbings and a fatal beating. Former guards say drugs and weapons are common behind bars -- and for months, many cell doors didn't even lock. A judge called it"an absolute hellhole" at a recent sentencing hearing.
But while the Biden administration is ending contracts with private companies like the one operating the detention center, the Kansas facility and others like it are trying to get around the President's directive and still collect federal money. One key loophole they've found: holding detained immigrants for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Prison is a lucrative business. They won’t let him do it, not because he’s criminals, but because people only care about money.
Hahaha very funny. There are always loopholes for the rich and powerful.
