The owners of private prisons paid for this. But their ROI is off the charts.

After the "de- incarceration" movement reduced the number of folks kicked up awaiting trial, failing to eliminate all the reform prosecutors, the private prison industry searched for another market.

State of the art prisons vs. crumbling schools… not a future I want for the kids.

Devil Don lives for evil-greed like this. That's what Satan does.

Private prisons have got to go, I hope we can claw back most of their profits after this nightmare. I do not, and never wanted my tax dollars to be used this way. I want them to be used for healthcare, schools, infrastructure, you catch my drift…
