ICE is doubling down on jails, and county sheriffs are cashing in. Butler County, OH alone hands over nearly half its 860 beds. This isn’t “public safety.” It’s a profit pipeline off human misery.

The profit motive is a big factor in all this. Every body they grab makes money for someone.
Wonder how much those sheriff's are getting back personally in kickbacks too!
Criminal kickbacks.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio woulda had a field day in this environment. The kinda graft out here now woulda paid for multiple homes and funded some Swiss bank accts.
Very sad. Happening in Indiana. All for money.
😡
It is totally disgusting. It's clear that those in power right now are willing to do anything, anything for money.
The Great GOP Grift
It amounts to human trafficking, kidnapping, and turning people into slaves for huge profit for all nearly involved except those who are kidnapped.
Absolutely 💯👎🤬🤬
Texas might warrant a deeper look. There are 60 PRIVATE facilities in the state; many are city/county, but the state prisons are big money makers ... just like private schools are. It bears noting TX prisons are not air conditioned. prisonal.org/texas/privat...
😡
Agreed
That is not surprising about Butler County. They're all about money.
Jesus and the money changers mean anything to them? Always misquoting the Bible to hide their atrocities
That jackass sheriff in Butler Co is a menace to civil society. Not that there's much of that in Warren and Butler. That there's Klan Kuntry.
As has always been the case when states and locals rent to feds. They make money.
For-profit prisons were YUUUUGE Trump donors
Fascism For Profit
My county stopped supporting, saying it was too costly.
Won’t happen in a lot of areas where overcrowding is a issue. Unless the counties let the real crooks back out on the streets🤦🏻♀️
Sherburne County,MN has been making bank on immigrants for years.
The endgame looks something like this, I think: medium.com/@brian.ragle...
Why don’t the illegals willingly self deport? Why would they want to go through this?
Human misery is profitable. Look at any industry promoting then cashing in on billion$- War, healthcare, prisons, religion, etc.
I live 5 miles away from Butler County. The Butler County sheriff is an absolutely monstrosity. I'm not saying the county I live in is much better but Richard Jones is in a class of his own.
I would very much like to know what 'deal' South Korea made to get their people back from ICE. Who did they pay and how much?
And the profit is extracted from - let me guess - American taxpayers?
“It’s harvest time out on the avenue…”
All those Republicans profiting off of dividing families hurting American citizens!
Would be nice if someone kept track of this. If we ever get out of this, go after all, especially the law enforcement, who committed crimes taking money.
Butler County OH. Ohio really sucks
I told my financial advisor friend to invest in prisons in January. He’s a trumper, he laughed like I was joking. That’s when I stopped taking $ advice from him. I wondered how he didn’t know what was coming. Bet he’s wondering now how I knew. Should have listened to me…about everything.
C'mon giant meteor the size of Manhattan.
Haven't sheriff's been saying the jails are full?
I don’t believe for profit prisons serve anyone but the owner of the company…
😡 😤
The KKKristofascists want their slavery back...and if they can't put them to work turning a profit in the fields, they'll put them to "work" turning a profit by inhabiting a cell.
Slavery.
Human trafficking
MAP: Contractors That Profit Off of ICE share.google/Esuxv7bctoZv...
This is a national, connected web of criminal activity. Governors have to act in ways that uncomfortable for them - they have to courageously, patriotically break this web.
We are disgusting.
Its what America was founded on
Where will the counties these sheriffs work for get the $ to pay all the law suits brough about by all those victimized by ICE to which the sheriffs w/b complicit?
"A profit pipeline off human misery," sounds like a perfect description of capitalism.
Crime Syndicate. No Justice from the first term, and here we are bsky.app/profile/chri...
WTF and this administration and the Republicans claim to be Christians. It’s one thing to deport people you don’t have to do it so inhumanely. President Biden and President Obama deported millions of people and they didn’t treat people like animals. And still no border reform. Trump uses fear for $$
Amurikkka coddles and protects rich criminals and prosecutes every one else with reckless abandon!
Sadomasochists, cruelty is what they do. This is team trump. This is what they voted for, and they knew it was coming. He promised them cruelty they could participate in.
Not everyone voted for him And none of it is legal They violate rights
What do you think will stop them?
They've told us exactly where they'll be taking this. Hint: they're bad guys with guns.
Yes, we all know the situation. Leaders need to do their jobs. And take consistent action against them. Do what they can.
MAGA is destroying lives. Breaking up families destroys life. ICE is no different from Nazi.
Slave hunters
Ohio is a #Real_Shithole. It was the most racist of places I've ever lived. EVERYTHING was about race to far too many white folks.
Next up. Forced labor for detainees. Coming in 10, 9, 8
That is some fucking racist BS
So true! This is true reality,.. thank you for acknowledging reality with no Bias
How very Christian of this administration? The fact that they call himself Christians is blasphemy. They’re not Christians they’re evil.
Everything that Trump is doing is for profit for his billionaire friends down from doge 2 trillion and fraud waste and abuse people are gonna get $50,000 rebate. It was all lies. They didn’t even save enough to cover the cost of doge and they’re still going on. It was all about stealing your data
It’s MORE “for profit” human trafficking out in the open. Epstein & his cronies did it in the shadows.
i agree. but to be fair, the for-profit prison system has been broken for a long time.
Did they remove all the Convicted Immigrants out of the Prisons, that would have been the smart thing to do. But no they wanted a Constitutional Crisis so they can call Martial law. Ps Democrats are also NRA members...
Wash rinse repeat
Until some of those County Mounties end up on the wrong side of the bars.
At least the Germans had clearly identifiable uniforms. You knew exactly who they were. We can't tell the difference between real police, TEMU police, Amazon ICE, J6ers, proud boys, bounty hunters, and now our own military. Non-military should never be allowed to wear fatigues or camo--EVER.
I could order the entire outfit on Amazon and look very authentic. I am 73 years old.
The Germans stole all their property, then their hair. Finally they even sold their skin. America is profiting off their bodies too by incarcerating them and their fellow countrymen watch. Half with glee at the suffering! America will take decades to come back from this. Germany are still suffering
Again I ask, why didn’t the DC folks give money to immigration courts instead of this #AuthoritarianRegime’s brown shirts. ICE’s $27.7 billion annual budget were entirely redirected to immigration courts: Maximum theoretical hires: 1. 53,269 judges $250,00 2. 159,807 staff $90,000 (1:3 ratio)
Trump helped Epstein do the same. So, no surprise!
On the other side, the sheriff says at least the prisoners receive good care there instead of winding up in an Alcatraz. I just shake my head. It's just such a mess.☹️
California City, CA. Next Edwards AFB in the middle of the Mojave. Poor, remote area. Giant facility popped up out of nowhere.
Guess who is profiting
#followthemoney
$175 billion to ICE in the H.R.1. Bill…self explanatory…it’s always about the con…
#GriftersGonnaGrift
There is no money in deporting people. The money is in detaining them.
Always follow the money
Of course it is. For christ sake, they literally just resurrected an apartheid-era-like skin color litmus test. What the fuck are we doing here people?
The sheriff in Butler Co is a trump sycophant and he'll do anything for trump. It's disgusting.
lots of sheriff's are. they seem to have forgotten they took an oath to uphold the constitution when they were sworn in as well.
You just described literally 75% of all sheriff’s in this broken country.
The Butler County Sheriff's Office placed inflatable alligators around the jail entrance, referencing Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz" immigrant detention center. I hate these people .
Yup. Forgot about that.
He’s got a fascist rap sheet!
The self-styled “Joe Arpaio of Ohio” is feeling left out of the immigrant demonization debate. He wants Ohio to pass a law making it a felony to be in the state without a visa, so that he can put immigrants in his jail again. This guy is a lunatic! Along with the AG, a lethal pair!

In the 1920s, Butler, Pickaway and Washington counties were central areas of the rural membership of the Ku Klux Klan in Ohio. Middletown, Vance’s hometown is located there.
youtu.be/57WEArtc2ps
These Ice facilities are raking it in
Prisons for profit right now
I have no idea what the loser sheriff of portage county brings in but I'd sure love for him to just go away! He's a real jerk. .. I'm being polite
Where is Charles Dickens? He brought attention to the stories of real and tender human beings being ground to bits by the social & political system of his time. His kind is sorely needed again & now. The callous injustices we’re witnessing around us are astounding & gutting.
For a county of 399,000 people, do they really need that many jail beds to begin with???
i was wondering why our sheriff was so eager to lick boots
I live in Butler county. Sheriff Jones is definitely a MAGAt.
I’m there too and you aren’t kidding.
You are absolutely correct👽
My eyes have been opened in the past 10 years to the fact that the world runs off greed, for money & power. I don't see a way we ever get something different.
Sounds like the very foundation of the nation. It is the slave owning mentality that needs abolishing.
It’s Ohio…🤷🏻♂️
Its slavery in the year 2025
Then don’t object to ICE housing then until deported.
Butler County, Ohio = MAGA saturated. They had the old Touchdown Jesus church on I-75 until a lightning bolt touched down on the statue. Replaced it with Hug Me Jesus.
It's slavery.
Hope they have room for the pedophile in the wh and his supporters in congress/the senate.
They're good at that Flashback: www.cbsnews.com/news/kids-fo...
It's about time
Wow !
Psychopaths
They can’t get rid of the labor force fast enough. Wait until that dust settles.
The big point isn't jails. It's the for-profit prison industry that Joe Biden banned federal contracts with. There's a guy that works out of his house that got a multi billion dollar contract to build a concentration camp in Texas. In a no-bid contract. It's graft clear and simple
Yes, it is a grift and has been on the uptick for the last decade, escalated under the first trump admin, Biden tamped some down but now it is full scale money making op and they will "lease" the prisoners to factories and farms. Slavery by any other name.
Can you imagine being a prisoner in a detention camp sleeping on a concrete floor without ever having a court hearing? In a camp that makes $180,000 per year imprisoning you, your wife and citizen kid per year. Court doesn't help you. Never seen you. How do you convince anybody to release you?
It's insane and a huge human rights violation, it's too bad we are still in NATO and/or not a member state for the ICC.
Me, initially: International Cricket Council?? But I think NATO needs to revoke that US membership, stat.
A dream come true for those assholes. Profit and cruelty!!
Misery and trafficking
TAX PAYER FUNDED KIDNAPPING For PROFIT Billionaires' profit, NOT the tax payers.
Of course it is. I live in Butler County OH. Our sheriff wants to be Joe Arpaio. Here in SUBURBAN SW Ohio, Sheriff Jones sports a cowboy hat. Always. I hate it here.
I was born and raised my kids just west of Akron. I’m so glad at 49, we all escaped that hell hole of a racist fake Christian state.
Yep, I'm too old to leave now. But I remember the days before the corrupt af Ohio GOP gerrymandered Ohio into oblivion. We even had several Democratic governors.
My parents voted for Humphrey. They took my brother and me to see him speak at Euclid Beach Park. My dad was a WWII Veteran who was shot twice in the Philippines. Thank goodness he’s gone now. I feel for you.
First, hey neighbor. Second, you’re laying down some truth.
Hello neighbor!
📍2018 “As President Reagan did in the 1980s,” Binion said, “President Trump has embraced the comprehensive recommendations made in the ‘Mandate for Leadership’ (Project 2025)." " These achievements have led to economic growth, a stronger national defense, and a restoration of the rule of law.”
Ronald Reagan played a significant role in creating the conditions that led to the rise of private prisons; his support for privatization opened the door for private sector involvement in corrections. The first private prison in the US opened in 1984, during the Reagan administration.
They don't think they can get away with slavery for POC. So once their prisons are in full swing, they will use them for prison labor.
I live really close to Butler county. That sheriff has always been a BIG asshole. He's corrupt as hell, but he always manages to come out of a pile of shit smelling like a rose. I wish they could get rid of him....
He can be gotten rid of……
There is ALWAYS a grubby, shameful grift with this crowd. Every fucking time...
#PrisonPlanet
First they came for Latinos…
Withhold $$$ from irs.
It’s always about the $$$
Any idea how much the local jails are charging the ZGS to house their pending "disappeared"...
Yeah, they've been doing this for decades off the backs of anybody they can snatch and charge of a felony that's not news. These lazy fucking sheriffs and they get money for keeping the jails full. We've already been living in dystopia this just brings it home.
This is JD Vance's home county.
Jim Crow Echoes Through The Jails Of Ohio.
Exactly! I feel like no one is safe and everyday feels worse than the one before it. It's heartbreaking and creates a sense of dread, fear, and hopelessness.
Wait until they’re done with the brown people, Democrats will be next!
Several years ago when apprehensions were going up, I called our county sheriff's office to see if they had enough room to house all the projected numbers. The answer was a clear no.
youtu.be/sdAu3giUjto
The Mahoning County sheriff has several hundred beds that ICE is actively using. They fly the detainees out of the Youngstown, OH USAF base. They are using private jets, not air force.
Yep. This entire government is a business enterprise now. Pay for power. Pay for access. I tort whenever possible. Bribery will get you everywhere.
It used to be called slavery
The Butler County Ohio Sheriff is a right-wing fascist who loves to drag his hillbilly beer gut onto Fox News all the time and cry about make believe. That’s also where JD Couch Coitus is from
Butler County, Ohio is a deep red county in Ohio. This does not surprise me.
I’m here voting blue and fighting like hell.
Followed.
Ditto from M-town. Jones is one of the grifters profiting from misery. We did not pay for this!
Republicans like to traffic humans.
#felontrump is the head cruelty cheerleader for America’s free fall into Banana Republic status.
Concentration camps are the new corporate greed. Turn the tables.
That's how they get people to go along -- $$$$$
Bill Gates cashing in too: www.msn.com/en-us/news/t...
That's less than 20 miles from where JD's folks come from. Ohio is a corrupt racist, phobic, gerrymandered nightmare.
😡🤬💩🤮
Ruthless rogue dictators are putting the world on the brink of world war while a felon doubles down on US jails and deploys US Military Troops to American cities? Horrifying and Sickening!
Arm up and raid it
Similar situation in Broome County, NY. Local groups are working to raise awareness and to oppose
What happened to the alligator prison? Where did they take everyone?
I think they're allowed to continue to hold people there for now.
Ohio has a lot of farmland. This will be interesting.
In this ‘Red Hell’ a group of concern citizens attend the county commissioner’s meeting every week to protest the sheriffs crimes. They’ve also filed a lawsuit. They stopped protesting outside of the jail because immigrants were experiencing physical retribution. Red Hell!
That’s called human trafficking
Fuck Sheriff Jones fascist ass mother fucker
He sure is. And an publicity whore
😢😢☹️☹️
Agreed!
Always about the Benjamins
🤬🤬🤬
😡🍊👑
Sad. But cashing in is the mantra today especially when you can make money off of people that have no voice.
Watch as Bull Connor wannabes spring up by the thousands complete with aviator glasses and a deputy named Buford.
My city has decided we needed a new, jail, court, and police station all due to those 'illegals '
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10, NIV)
Besides the vicious treatment of humans, the obvious grifting, & disappearances, business owners & farmers must be apoplectic about the treatment of their employees, raids on their properties, & loss of staff. Oh, yeah, & then there's the tariffs. Winning under the 🍊💩 is losing for all. Sickening.
I live near Butler County Ohio. All you need to know about it is this is what their sheriff looks like: "Dingelberg!"
Just like school shootings. It's creating industries of pain.
RefuseFascism.org The time has come for us to STAND UP, FIGHT BACK. Make a plan to join us in peacefully FLOODING THE STREETS of DC beginning Nov 5 and remaining until Trump's fascist regime falls. LFG!
The sheriff in Butler County is a racist POS that keeps getting re-elected 🤬
FASCISM IS HERE! GENERAL STRIKE NOW! Please repost as much as you can. Only way to take back our country!
FASCISM IS HERE! GENERAL STRIKE NOW! Please repost as much as you can. Only way to take back our country!
It’s fascism.
It's always been about profit prisons for this admin. Every Republican president has a theme.
It never was!
Jail is now a business. The families of inmates have to pay for the phone calls, video chat visits, texts, and snacks/food from the commissary, which include socks, underclothes, etc... I know because I have a family member there due to mental health. No more in-person visits, just paid video chat
Must hold them accountable.
Some things never change.
The cruelty is the point.
Because that's what fascist countries do...
Yes, they are very racist in the Cincinnati area. I used to live there, and the region manager that I worked for had a fit when I allowed my Muslim employees to use my office to pray on their breaks. (Back in the late 1990s. I see it hasn't changed.)
I am from central OH so know nothing about this county. If it is very rural, it makes sense. Plus it borders nowhere, Indiana which probably doesn't help.
Yes, and Kentucky too.
Follow the money.
It’s human trafficking
💯💯💯
So there's no place to lock up murderers, drug dealers, child rapists?
JD Vance hails from the dump of Butler County Ohio, and his kin still live there. It’s no surprise they’ll do anything for money and MAGA pats on the back. The sheriff did a news conference making fun of Covid in Spring of 2020, then deputies died of it.
I have to believe karma will find its way to these people. The sooner the better!
It’s China.
We ever take this country back, we need to outlaw for-profit prisons and any possible kickbacks to judges and police. Also, enough treating inmates as slaves by renting them out for free labor.
💯💯💯💯💯
Yep, been saying it for awhile, follow the money, private prison kickbacks and "leasing" prisoners to farms to work.
A lot of children will be sold.
How much money has Trump and his cronies invested in private prisons over the past 8 months? A big part of all this is funneling as much taxpayer money into their own pockets as possible. This is what happens when you give control of government to the greediest people alive!
What are they releasing to donate these 800 beds to the Reich?
Human trafficking.
WHAT HAPPENED TO DEPORTATION? I GUESS SOME FOLKS REALIZE THE 💰 was in KEEPING THEM HERE Locked up! WHILE THE USA loose out on MILLIONS IN TAX 💰 the would've COLLECTED FROM THEM!!
Shameful. Meaning we are ashamed of the people doing this.
Profiting off of misery is the MAGA way.
Good grief- now our teachers need to be trained to deploy and fly pepper ball drones and be mass trauma center nurses No wonder there’s no money left to pay teachers or have music and arts programs
Meet the new urban warfare, more money for the military industrial congressional complex.
When will you learn that capitalism is an evil ideology?
Wow anything BUT MAKE IT HARDER TO HAVE A GUN🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Plus it's another way to get child rapists into the schools. And they get paid to be there.
So what stops the shooter from shooting down the drones?
Most of us with a brain know this, it's the idiot Trump voter that doesn't.
When he said Billions pouring in, he meant ICE money going in his pockets.
I'm very concerned about the County over from me. They've jumped on the bandwagon and there are so many yahoos here in Michigan-they would LOVE to join ICE/Bounty Hunters. Also, they're incredibly stupid too but, that's another matter.
The whole deportation effort is a grift.
How do we allow government employees to work for these corporate hogs. Shut it down. Shit down the states and the federal government, they all want to get paid, we will tell them when and how they get paid. When are we shutting it down!
We used to call it human trafficking.
Greedy individuals always end up getting consumed by their own greed. Greed is never satisfied. OTP vp
Private prisons and local jails are expanding the government's capacity for immigrant detention : NPR share.google/NVOA03mgoTem...
Grrrrrr
We must either take control of Sheriff departments or eliminate them. If they continue as a law unto themselves, they are still no good for democracy. No more elections for them. Appointments or hirings from the local governments with citizen oversight.
And once they’re done with them people they’re going after now they’ll just convert the shit into debtors prisons.
What an asshole sheriff.
