The Immigration Detention Gold Mine

By Prerna on May 12, 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

PBS has now done a series on “Immigrant Detainees- A New Profit Center?” giving us a look into how the private corrections industry is profiting from immigrants held in detention facilities.

“Sometimes they get food…sometimes they don’t… It’s freezing in the winter time … and we have a lot of detainees that get sick.”

The Washington Post just came out with a closer look at the system of neglect that characterizes immigrant detention. You can access that here.

It costs an average of $100 per day of our tax dollars to house these immigrants—without proper food and medical facilities most of the time—behind bars, sometimes for long periods.
