Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The report suggests that private incarceration companies cut costs by providing minimal food and care and hiring cheap labor to raise profit margins for shareholders. This operation is linked to current administration immigration policy, which aims to deter immigrants by making detention as miserable as possible.
